[closed] Josm on ubuntu - JAVA issue

Question

I've installed JOSM with the ubuntu softwarecenter, but it won't run. As far as I can tell, I have "OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime" and "IcedTea Java Web Start" installed - and normally don't have JAVA issues for the time being.

Any magic tricks?

@ThorBue: Hm, looks like your Java installation is messed up. Can you run other Java programs? Did you maybe install openjdk-6-jre-headless? You need openjdk-6-jre. Please post the output of "dpkg -l|grep jdk" and "dpkg -l|grep jre", and the output of "java -version".

I don't have JAVA issues in my browser, that I'm aware of. But it possible that something isn't right as only 2 of the 4 openjdk packages in softwarecenter is installed.

The openjdk-6-jre package is not installed. Please try to install it and run the command again afterwards.

Thanks - after installing openjdk-6 JOSM is working. Guess I thought jdk-6 was an older version, so I didn't install it when i upgraded to 12.04.
