** Description changed: In an attempt to make Eclipse load the library RXTXcomm.jar from the Ubuntu package librxtx-java, I discovered that /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so (part of openJDK 6) only includes the hardcoded extension path /usr/java/packages/lib/ext. Yet, Java packages are installed into /usr/share/java, so they are subsequently not found by Eclipse. Running Eclipse with a custom classpath is not straightforward, so I decided to create the aforementioned directory and symlink the .jar into it. This works but is not very user friendly. As I see it, the path compiled into libjvm.so is wrong. It should point to the Debian/Ubuntu specific extension location instead. Is there a reason why java.ext.dirs must be /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext:/usr/java/packages/lib/ext instead of /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext:/usr/share/java? - Distribution: Ubuntu 11.10 - Package: openjdk-6-jre-headless-6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10.2 - Architecture: amd64 - ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b23~pre11-0ubuntu1.11.10.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-16.28-generic 3.0.17 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Feb 27 23:47:47 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_GB:en_US:en - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_GB.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_GB:en_US:en + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_GB.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: openjdk-6 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-16 (134 days ago)
