icedtea + jalbum == no go, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/image/codec/jpeg/ImageFormatException

[knarf]

Jalbum (www.jalbum.org, web photo album software) does not run on iced tea. The program starts but it is unable to read image files making it somewhat useless. Switching to sun java makes jalbum happy again.

Jalbum has a setting for which image readers to use ('classic' or whatever goes for modern nowadays). Changing this setting does not solve this problem.

It is not clear yet whether this is an iced tea bug or a Classpath bug.

[knarf (launchpad-ubuntu-f)]

By the way: using latest Ubuntu Hardy (updated 20080324):

icedtea-java7-bin 7~b24-1.5+20080118-1
icedtea-java7-jre 7~b24-1.5+20080118-1

Jalbum 7.4

Albums contain JPEG images

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

icedtea-java7 has been removed from Hardy recently, see bug #203636. Can you reproduce this with openjdk-6 ? Please remove all icedtea-java7 packages before testing.

If you also need the browser plugin for applets, install the icedtea-gcjwebplugin package.

[knarf (launchpad-ubuntu-f)]

I purged my system from iced tea and installed openjdk-6 instead, followed by the browser plugin (icedtea-gcjwebplugin). The results are exactly the same:

please could you confirm, if this works with sun-java5-jre *and* sun-jva6-jre?
