Here is a link to the relatedproblem with happens in eclipse/aptana because of those errors: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-7433

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

works fine here. what does ls -lL show? the jar's are installed from the openjdk-7-jre-lib package. dpkg -L openjdk-7-jre-lib should show that these files exist.

There are now 5 different people in the JIRA tracker from the aptana project, all with the same problem and all of them on ubuntu.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

so there's apparently not one broken symlink.

which version of tzdata-java is installed?
ls -l /usr/share/javazi

[Leo Unglaub (leo-unglaub)]

I don't have this package installed:

leo@thunder:~$ dpkg -l tzdata-java

|/ Fehler?=(kein)/R=Neuinstallation notwendig (Status, Fehler: GROSS=schlecht)
||/ Name Version Beschreibung
+++-==============-==============-============================================
un tzdata-java <keine> (keine Beschreibung vorhanden)

The directory /usr/share/javazi does not exist on my system.
leo@thunder:~$ ls -l /usr/share/ | grep java
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48 Aug 29 00:28 ca-certificates-java

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

please install tzdata-java

[Leo Unglaub (leo-unglaub)]

Yes, that fixes the problem. but shouldn't this package be a dependency of the java package?
