Public bug reported: When I run javaws provided by open jdk it crashes with (I can only see this error in the console): Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.InstallDialog.<init>(InstallDialog.java:58) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.InstallDialog.getInstallDir(InstallDialog.java:153) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPRuntime.getDefaultBaseDir(JNLPRuntime.java:265) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.getBaseDir(Boot.java:407) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.run(Boot.java:168) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.Boot.main(Boot.java:159)
The link in the menu which opens the viewer works ok. I tried just running javaws as well point it towards a few webstart apps and the result is the same. ** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Java Web Start crashes with a Null Pointer Exception https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205371 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
