Hm, I've never seen this. Try 'javaws -viewer' and find the view cache control. Delete all the stuff you see in the cache. You could also go over all other settings in the java control panel. Or just delete the $HOME/.java directory. You'll loose all you're softsqueeze settings (and other java prog settings). But you'll be sure to get a "fresh start". > > Forgive me, but I don't understand how this lets you chose / switch > between sun-java-5 and sun-java-6. Several versions of the same application can be installed on debian based systems. If correctly packaged, when you install a package the executable, e.g. /usr/bin/java will be a link to /etc/alternatives/java, which again is a link to the real executable, e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java. The program update-alternatives changes the link in /etc/alternatives to e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-5-sun/bin/java. The good thing is that update-alternatives takes care of related links. I.e. man-pages, other executable belonging to the same program etc, and possibly other things which need setting up for different versions, such as the firefox java plugin. Note that for the firefox javaplugin it doesn't seem to work perfectly. So check that /etc/alt.../moz...javaplug..so is a link to /usr/lib/jvm/..../..plugin.so, and that /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjav... links to the etc file. It may sound cumbersome, but it really is quite clever. -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35565 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
