Java web start does not work
I have followed the instructions in this article, including the last step about web start, but it still does not work, neither applets or web start. When I try to launch a JWS application by double clicking it I get the dreaded warning dialog:
---------
To open this Web Start application, you need to download the Java Runtime Environment.
Click “More Info…” to visit the website for the Java Runtime Environment.
---------
I do have a JRE installed, 1.6, since I for compatibility reasons can't upgrade.
Trying to launch a web start application from the commandline looks like this:
$ javaws /tmp/airview.jnlp
Java Web Start splash screen process exiting ...
Can not find message file: No such file or directory
Regular Java-programs work fine.
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_37"
