Bugzilla Bug 147259

$ GENTOO_VM=sun-jre-bin-1.4 javaws
Tried to execute /usr/lib/jvm/sun-jre-bin-1.4//bin/javaws and
/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jre-bin-1.4//jre/bin/javaws, but neither exist.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the install of sun-jre-bin-1.4?

$ GENTOO_VM=sun-jdk-1.4 javaws
Tried to execute /usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.4//bin/javaws and
/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.4//jre/bin/javaws, but neither exist.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the install of sun-jdk-1.4?

Because the javaws executable here is in {jre/}javaws/javaws and not in bin. In
blackdown-jdk there's symlink in bin/ that points there so it works. Maybe that
symlink should be added to sun-{jdk,jre} too, instead of trying to workaround
in java-config?

I'm pretty sure that symlink is part of the blackdown release. We could easily
enough do a symlink though.

Add ibm-{jre,jdk}-bin-1.4 and jrockit-jdk-bin-1.4 to the list (that means
anything 1.4 but blackdown). Still better to add symlinks to them than patch
java-config, since 1.5+ there always is javaws in bin/

Yeah, symlinking makes sense.

@Caster

If you're comfortable with it, you can go ahead and add the symlinks and
revbump for the effected versions.

Fixed in sun-jdk-1.4.2.12-r2.

Think you meant to mark FIXED ;)

Not really, I fixed only the first package of many, just tracking progress,
used ASSIGNED to indicate I am to take care of it...

sun-jre-bin fixed in 1.4.2.10-r2

ibm-jdk-bin and ibm-jre-bin fixed in 1.4.2.6-r4

Looks like there's no javaws in jrockit-jdk-bin, so that's all folks.
