Package: sun-java6-bin
Version: 6-16-1
Severity: important


Trying to start any java web start app (for example the ones on
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/demos.html )
results in an "Unable to launch the application." error, no matter if it's
from the cmd line or iceweasel. But the stack trace is different in each of
these cases.

This is what I get when starting from iceweasel 3.5.6:

Needless to say, the network is fine and the URL mentioned can be wget'ed
reliably.

When trying to run it from the cmd line like this
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/bin/javaws
'http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/apps/draw.jnlp'

I get this:

Using the OpenJDK does not help either, with yet another error message:

I could reproduce the problem on another squeeze box (tried only iceweasel
there).

However, on an etch (virtual) box both iceweasel (2.0.0.19) and cmd line (java
1.6.0.07) web-start just fine.
