Package: icedtea-netx Version: 1.3.2-1 Severity: serious Tring to understand why the KGS Go client at http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp would not start:
* default javaws (using openjdk-6) even explodes when passed no argument: $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/bin/javaws Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.appContextGet(SwingUtilities.java:1859) at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.getSharedOwnerFrame(SwingUtilities.java:1829) at javax.swing.JWindow.<init>(JWindow.java:185) at javax.swing.JWindow.<init>(JWindow.java:137) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPSecurityManager.<init>(JNLPSecurityManager.java:121) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPRuntime.initialize(JNLPRuntime.java:231) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.run(Boot.java:181) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.run(Boot.java:51) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.main(Boot.java:172) * using openjdk-7, the same call produces a usage message, but when launching against cgoban.jnlp the same NPE occurs, so I guess it is not specific to this particular app (hence the severity): $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/javaws /tmp/cgoban.jnlp Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.appContextGet(SwingUtilities.java:1859) at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.getSharedOwnerFrame(SwingUtilities.java:1829) at javax.swing.JWindow.<init>(JWindow.java:185) at javax.swing.JWindow.<init>(JWindow.java:137) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPSecurityManager.<init>(JNLPSecurityManager.java:121) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPRuntime.initialize(JNLPRuntime.java:231) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.run(Boot.java:181) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.run(Boot.java:51) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.main(Boot.java:172) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages icedtea-netx depends on: ii icedtea-netx-common 1.3.2-1 ii openjdk-6-jre 6b30-1.13.1-1 ii openjdk-7-jre 7u21-2.3.9-5 icedtea-netx recommends no packages. icedtea-netx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
