Public bug reported: I downloaded a .zip file containing an HTML file and some JARs, and unzipped it into my Downloads directory on a typical Linux system. Since I am a non-English user, my "Downloads" directory contains accented letters ("Letöltések").
I use the icedtea-plugin package under Ubuntu 12.10. I tried both Java 6 and 7. Here is what I have in Firefox or Google Chrome ("tail -f ~/.xsession- errors"): java version "1.7.0_15" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.7) (7u15-2.3.7-0ubuntu1~12.10) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode) JAR file:/home/kovzol/Letöltések/dl/geogebra.jar not found.
