Description Stefan Schmid 2014-10-06 12:45:17 UTC

When I try to start a JNLP-File with javaws of "eselect-java" (/usr/bin/javaws -> /usr/libexec/eselect-java/run-java-tool.bash) it comes to the following error message:

* javaws is not available for icedtea-7 on x86_64
* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs on some architectures

But with the javaws of "icedtea-web" (/usr/libexec/icedtea-web/javaws) application is started without errors.

My Java runtime environment:

sys-apps/baselayout-java-0.1.0
app-admin/eselect-java-0.1.0
dev-java/icedtea-7.2.4.8 (X alsa cjk cups javascript jbootstrap kerberos nsplugin nss pulseaudio source webstart)
dev-java/icedtea-web-1.4.2-r1 (icedtea7 javascript nsplugin)

$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
  [1]   icedtea-7  system-vm

$ eselect java-nsplugin list
Available 32-bit Java browser plugins
Available 64-bit Java browser plugins
  [1]   icedtea-web@icedtea-7  current

$ equery b javaws
