Bug Description

Binary package hint: sun-java6-bin

All the Java packages use absolute paths for icons in their .desktop files despite all the icons being stored in /usr/share/pixmaps. This breaks icon theming, and there should be no need to use absolute paths.

  * New code drop (b08).
  * Update IcedTea build infrastructure.
  * Move binfmt-support references from -jre to -jre-headless package.
  * Don't fail on purge, if /var/lib/binfmts/openjdk-6 is missing. LP: #206721.
  * Only use the basename for icons in desktop files. LP: #207413.
  * Install javaws(1). LP: #191297.
  * Install a wrapper script for javaws, which calls `javaws -viewer' if no
    arguments are given (or else starting javaws from the desktop menu
    would not do anything).
  * debian/JB-web-start.applications.in: Remove the -viewer option from command.
