Bug#711850: java-wrappers: jvm-list.sh fails to find jvm from /etc/alternatives

[Chris Davies]

Package: java-wrappers
Version: 0.1.25
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I have just installed freemind. I have Oracle Java installed under
/usr/local/app/java-oracle/jdk1.7.0 and correctly mapped into
/etc/alternatives. I'm aware of issues surrounding Oracle Java but it's
required for another application I use. I also have OpenJDK versions 6 and 7
installed but unused.

Running freemind triggers a calls to java-wrappers, which in turn uses jvm-list
to detect an appropriate jvm. Unfortunately this fails because my jvm is not
installed under /usr/lib/jvm so java-wrappers is led to believe there is no
valid jvm installed, and consequently freemind will not start.

Investigating further it appears that there is a line within /usr/lib/java-
wrappers/jvm-list.sh that assumes a jvm linked from /etc/alternatives/java is
going to be somewhere under /usr/lib/jvm. The attached patch removes this
dependency assumption.
