Bug 353342 – dev-java/sun-jdk[-1.6.0.23] does not have javaws.jar on classpath

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Miroslav Šulc 2011-01-31 20:32:55 UTC]

when compiling/running sweethome3d from java-overlay using sun-jdk, it fails with jnlp classes not on classpath. when compiling/running the same app using icedtea6 and icedtea7, everything works fine. so the issue is probably that sun-jdk does not have javaws.jar on classpath whereas icedtea6 and icedtea7 have it on classpath while running.

$ GENTOO_VM="sun-jdk-1.6" SweetHome3D
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jnlp/UnavailableServiceException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.jnlp.UnavailableServiceException

Could not find the main class: com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D.  Program will exit.

i guess the "Could not find the main class..." message is just product of ClassNotFoundException as it works fine with icedtea6 and icedtea7.

Please don't randomly CC people from the Changelog. Relevant people already do get notifications.

i am sorry for disturbing. i see some nasty bugs and if i dont push a little bit to remind of of maintainer, it seems to be nothing going to change. t

Same problem here.

sun-jdk has been last-rited. It's possible this is still an issue but our sweethome3d ebuild is massively outdated anyway. If they still use Web Start, this would need to be looked at afresh in the context of icedtea-web.
