Bug#623811: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws: No such file or directory
Hi Torsten, Due to the removal of javaws from the openjdk packages I am no longer able to use EVO (http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate) for teleconference collaboration. The package you suggest installing, icedtea-netx is not available testing. It seems, therefore, it is now impossible to run web start applications with OpenJDK on Debian testing. This is a serious loss of functionality, and I hope it is fixed soon. On that note, even if icedtea-netx was available in testing today, I wouldn't have ever known that I need to install something called icedtea-netx to run .jnlp applications. I am not a Java developer, and I suspect no other non-experts will understand the association between the package name icedtea-netx and the problem I need to run a webstart application. Therefore, perhaps icedtea-netx should provide a javaws virtual package, and openjdk should recommend javaws, which the package manager will then show can be provided by icedtea-netx. By making the dependency be on an intermediate virtual package named javaws it might be more clear to people why they might want to install this package.

Bug#623811: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws: No such file or directory
After running into the problem I found a few ways to work around it: installing 6b18-1.8.3-2 (not an option for security reasons) installing 6b18-1.8.7-2~squeeze1 (did not work for me) installing 6b22-1.10.1-1 from the experimental repository Upgrading openjdk-6-jre-lib openjdk-6-jre-headless and openjdk-6-jre to experimental was the only working solution for me (besides from using another system, not debian, for java). Let's hope the package will get the unstable status soon. The 1.8.7-3 should never make it beyond unstable. Perhaps the netx-package is not required for everyone but please make sure the openjdk-6-jre package reaches sid first. Thanks to the openjdk-team for their good work.

severity 623811 important thanks Hi, On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Huub Reuver h.reu...@aoi-karin.net wrote: After updating the openjdk package I find myself trying to restore an old version since javaws is missing. Makes the package useless to me. you want to install the icedtea-netx package. We probably should add a suggests to openjdk-6-jre to ease the transition. Please learn the meaning of the severity. This bug certainly does not 'make the package in question unusable or mostly so'. It works well for most users.
