The problem here is the way the javaws is invoked. Since Java SE 6, if I want to run just the Java Web Start in standalone mode, which is useful if I want to list/delete/run previously downloaded applications, I have to run javaws -viewer as the .desktop file correctly says, but if I need to run an application having the JNLP url or document, I have to execure javaws <URL>. If I run the javaws process without arguments, a simple help is written to the console.
I think that a .desktop is needed to run Java Web Start from the menu, as it works now (javaws -viewer), but when registering the mime type only, we need the Exec field be javaws only. Maybe two .desktops files are needed? (first for the menu entry, second for the mime type registration) -- Java6 Web Start just opens the Java control panel instead of running the application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
