[req] java j2re 1.4.2

I play a game online (wurm online) that requires this version of java, the newer version won't work because of a drag and drop bug. Could someone make a package for me please?

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

You can always grab the PKGBUILDs for old versions from the CVS server. It has a nice web interface too:

http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … root=Extra

It does rely on you knowing how to use ABS though, but it's all in the wiki smile

hmm, I can't seem to find 1.4.x though... any suggestions? and I need the jre, not the jdk.

ok, went there, did that, and installed jre 1.4.2_05, but I can't use javaws to open the .jnlp file that I need to.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

ah... that's going to be sticky. Javaws was indeed broken in the Arch packages... I fixed it in the Java 5 release 02, I think it was, but you don't really want to be trying to convert the package, its quite messy...

You COULD try this workaround, but it generally doesn't work. sad

add this to your CLASSPATH:

/opt/java/jre/lib/javaws.jar:/opt/java/jre/lib/deploy.jar

run the following:

java com.sun.javaws.Main http://path/to/jnlp/file

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

hmm, I'll try it, thanks. I am also urging the game dev's to add jre 1.5 support, they already have it for windows, but there was some bug on linux that prevented it's use.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

I've submitted pkgbuilds for the 1.5.0_03 release of J2RE. Maybe (only maybe) that one will work.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

sorry, but no, only 1.4.x works with wurm atm, thanks for the effort though. I have yet to try the workaround yet, I am going to see what the devs' say.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

You can try the current PKGBUILD on 1.4 sources... You just might have to hack the PKGBUILD.

Or, just skip the packaging and install it using sun's installer. Install to /usr/local and you'll be out of the way of the binary.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

even better, that's what I'll do, thanks! I didn't think sun's binary would work on arch.

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

Hehe, Sun's binary is what's used in the PKGBUILD...

Re: [req] java j2re 1.4.2

I used the official biunary for 1.4.2_08, but It still won't open. not sure what's wrong now. I installed the bin to /usr/local/java/bla bla bla, and saved the jnlp I wnat to open, so when I do ./javaws /home/bla/wurmclient.jnlp, nothing happens, the aterm seems to freeze.
