Hi
So, at work we use a tool for developing content, that our client wrote. It's in Java, launched from WebStart. Recently a colleague showed me how to take it home, which is a boon because I don't always feel like going in to the office to do work.
Now, using his hack, the thing runs fine under Windows XP. Basically, you copy the javaws cache across from your work system onto your home system and edit paths to point at the right folders. Voila! it launches.
But I feel that since this is all Java based, it should run under Linux just fine.
I've tried to do the same thing in Mandrake 10, but no dice. WebStart kicks in, but fails to launch the app because: "The following required field is missing from the launch file: <jnlp>"
Hmmm.
Does anyone have any experience trying to do this sort of thing? Any tips?
Thanks,
D
