Package: openjdk-6-jre Version: 6b24-1.11.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I downloaded a jar file and wanted to run it. I was not able to. I first tried accessing /usr/share/applications to see if there is openjdk-6-jre entry but sadly its not. The same for openjdk-7 as well but that's a different thing.
Anyways, in order to play/use the jar applet I have to run $java -jar application.jar which is not user-friendly. Trawling through cyberspace came across this bug #bug=658321 . Can somebody comment on how and when is this supposed to get fixed ? I searched the bug database to see if there was a tracking bug or something for this issue but found nothing hence reporting. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openjdk-6-jre depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.25-2 ii libatk-wrapper-java-jni 0.30.4-1 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libpulse0 1.1-3+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 ii libxi6 2:1.4.5-1.1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.0-4 ii openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b24-1.11.1-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.6.dfsg-2 Versions of packages openjdk-6-jre recommends: ii icedtea-netx 1.2-1 ii ttf-dejavu-extra 2.33-2 Versions of packages openjdk-6-jre suggests: pn icedtea-plugin <none> -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
