While the ebuild provides sun_java.desktop and sun_java.png, it's installed in /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02/plugin/desktop where it's not seen by any WM. Additionally, the .desktop file needs to be modified with the correct file locations of the icon and binary. It looks as though blackdown developers intentionally left it up to the packager to modify it as they see fit. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The sun_java.desktop should be edited with correct path locations and installed in /usr/share/applications and and sun_java.png should be installed /usr/share/pixmaps where it would be recognized by a WM.
The functions from eutils.eclass are now used in the ebuild. Thanks for reporting.
