It is installed:

~ type -pa javaws
/usr/java/latest/bin/javaws
/usr/java/latest/bin/javaws
/usr/bin/javaws

(I use Oracle's JDK)

I configured alternatives so that Oracle's JDK has top priority over gcj:

~ alternatives --display java
java - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/java/latest/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java - priority 1500
 slave jar: (null)
 slave jarsigner: (null)
 slave javadoc: (null)
 slave javaws: (null)
...
/usr/java/latest/bin/java - priority 20000
 slave jar: /usr/java/latest/bin/jar
 slave jarsigner: /usr/java/latest/bin/jarsigner
 slave javadoc: /usr/java/latest/bin/javadoc
 slave javaws: /usr/java/latest/bin/javaws
...

~ javaws
Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_20
...

So, AFAICS it should work, but obviously something is missing... I'm out of
ideas :-(

Regards,

Andre
