No valid JVM found to run JOSM - Ubuntu 12.10

[omshivaprakash]

Hi,

I was getting the following error on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit.

$ josm-latest
No valid JVM found to run JOSM.

OpenJDK didn't work by default.

Installed - java-7-oracle

Fo fix it- edited /usr/bin/josm
Following line was changed

16 JAVA_CMDS="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-sun/bin/java"

to look like

16 JAVA_CMDS="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java"

Please fix this.

Please make sure you have installed the most recent version of the josm-latest package. What is the output of $ dpkg --get-selections 'openjdk-*-jre' | grep install? Normally line 16 shouldn't even execute if you have openjdk installed.

Yes, Its working Thank you. I had removed openjdk package. Installed it back to find it working. If someone is using oracle packages still we have to make the above recommended change to line 16.

Do not know if oracle-java-7 is an official ubuntu package (in debian it is not).
Anyway I see following problems:

1. the josm-package should depend on a java-jre
2. the fallback path in the start script needs to be changed.
3. at least the oracle-jre or the openjdk-jre package is broken as the alternative is not set right.

I did the following changes (in next release):

It should be java-7-oracle and not java-6.

Did anyone check if java-7-oracle calls the alternative routine to set proper links and reported it if not ?

[skyper]

Does the package depend on an JRE ?

The debian package depends on openjdk-6-jre | openjdk-7-jre | sun-java6-jre to make sure that at least one JRE is installed.

Yes, it does.

@bastiK
Do not know what you did but the posted diff and the changes are different (e.g. java-7-oracle).
