disco: sweethome3d cannot start because /usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar is missing

[Matthieu Baerts]

Hello,

First, thank you for maintaining this SweetHome3D packages!

With the latest version -- sweethome3d-6.1.2+dfsg -- the program doesn't want to start:

  [warning] /usr/bin/sweethome3d: Unable to locate /usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar in /usr/share/java
  Error: Unable to initialize main class com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D
  Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/jnlp/UnavailableServiceException

It seems that with this new version [1], icedtea-netx is required instead of icedtea-netx-common. The first one does not contain any .jar file [2]. netx.jar was previously in icedtea-netx-common [3].

I think the problem is more in icedtea package but because it directly affects sweethome3d after the last update, I am reporting it here first.

Thank you for your support!

Just added Matthias in cc as he did the update and might know what's wrong :)

It seems that netx.jar is no longer produced and /usr/share/icedtea-web/javaws.jar can be used instead. So here is a patch to replace netx.jar by javaws.jar.

The same patch, with a ref to this ticket.

The same fix for sweethome3d-textures-editor

The same fix for sweethome3d-furniture-editor

The same fix for sweethome3d-textures-editor and a ref to this ticket.

I also confirm that this kind of fix in icedtea-netx fixes the issue:

  - Provide a compatibility symlink netx.jar -> javaws.jar.

Thank you Matthias for the quick fix. I don't know if we still need these fixes. Maybe cleaner to apply them?

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

yes, in the long term that should be fixed in these packages itself
