Hello,

while running web java app I encountered problems and noticed the following in the firefox output:

Your custom jre (/lib/rt.jar check) /etc/java-config-2/current-icedtea-web-vm is not valid. Please fix deployment.jre.dir in your deployment.properties. In attempt to run using default one.

I have icedtea-7.2.5.5 installed and selected as both system-vm and user-vm. icedtea-web@icedtea-7 is selected as java-nspluging and icedtea-web-1.5.1-r1 is installed.

/usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-7/lib indeed lacks rt.jar. I fixed this issue by creating symlink for ../jre/lib/rt.jar in this dir.

After creating this symlink java plugin works fine.

I don't think I've seen this before but the VM selection for icedtea-web is a bit messed up in general and addressing it is on my todo list.

It sounds like it needs to be pointed at /usr/lib/jvm/<jdk>/jre rather than /usr/lib/jvm/<jdk>.

Fixed in 1.6.1. I would close this when it's stable but that might not be for a little while so I'll close it now. We ideally need virtual/jdk-1.8 to go stable first for a long chain of reasons that are hard to explain.
