 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to use the iDrac9 Java virtual console which is access by a jnlp file which needs javaws to run.
When I try to run it I get the following error:
| Code: | $ /usr/bin/javaws
* javaws is not available for openjdk-17 on x86_64
* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs or some architectures |
I've tried installing various java versions:
| Code: | $ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea-bin-8
[2] openjdk-8
[3] openjdk-17 system-vm
[4] openjdk-bin-8
|
And can only find one javaws on my system:
| Code: | $ ls -la /usr/bin/javaws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Nov 26 14:55 /usr/bin/javaws -> /usr/libexec/eselect-java/run-java-tool.bash |
I've also tried switching java versions:
| Code: | $ eselect java-vm set 4
$ /usr/bin/javaws
* javaws is not available for openjdk-bin-8 on x86_64
* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs or some architectures
$ eselect java-vm set 1
$ /usr/bin/javaws
* javaws is not available for icedtea-bin-8 on x86_64
* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs or some architectures |
Is it possible to make this work?

Java WebStart is deprecated in Java 9 and removed in Java 11.

This is how eselect-java works to give you consistent invocations of java tools across the java versions.
You can either eselect java 8 for your current user and this should give you a working javaws or take a look at https://openwebstart.com/ for which there's an ebuild in fol4 overlay.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I tried switching to Java 8...
| Code: | $ eselect java-vm set 2
$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea-bin-8
[2] openjdk-8 user-vm
[3] openjdk-17 system-vm
[4] openjdk-bin-8
$ javaws
* javaws is not available for openjdk-8 on x86_64

| I think you need dev-java/icedtea-web. |
