openjdk missing motif 2.1 library

[J. Kary]

Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jre

The following program will not run with the default install of OpenJDK. (This is similar to issue #211105) I believe there is a dependency missing from the openJDK installer.

import java.awt.Container;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
    Container content = frame.getContentPane();

    JTextArea leftTextArea = new JTextArea();
    content.add(leftTextArea);

    frame.setSize(150, 150);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Here are the details of my install:

we can't build using openmotif, because this is in the multiverse section of the archive.

And isn't it possible to provide a replacement that make applications not to crash? I can't even execute Netbeans!

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

Is this problem specific to amd64? I can compile and run the program just fine on my machine with openjdk-6-jre version 6b11-2ubuntu2 (from hardy-updates).

Or is the case of compiling program with Sun JDK and trying to run with OpenJDK JRE? I should note that even that works fine on my machine.

No. It's a problem of version 6b12-0ubuntu6, from Intrepid. It happens at least in x86.Hardy worked ok.
