I run Hardy on my Mac Book Pro under Parallels. All the demos now work for me. After I did the two steps I listed earlier, not before. It was very frustrating to find this out. Most of the people in the Java group are straight Mac users (majority) or Windows users (minority) and don't deal with Linux issues. I was amazed that it didn't work right off ... Java being so key to opensource.
Did you try using an ubuntu-packaged java install? (eg: sun-java6-jdk?) Why did you choose to do the install manually (or automatically into /opt...)?The only problems I've had with java on Ubuntu have been caused by GCJ installs -- which have *never* worked for me, and frequently cause me increased frustration and lost time.
If you have gcj installed, you'll need to remove it (highly recommended ;) or change your java defaults with update-alternatives. (and there are a number of them that, afaik, need to be changed individually. You can see them in /etc/alternatives ) --Rogan
In fact before I applied those steps I could not even invoke "javaws - viewer" successfully. -ted On Feb 26, 2009, at 1:25 PM, Quentin Hartman wrote:I'm using Hardy 64 with sun java installed and there are a couple webstart apps I use all the time. On the demo page you linked to, the Draw and Application manager demos didn't work for me, but all the others did. -QH-
