openjdk icedtea javaws

[Chris H.]

Many thanks for the reply Jiri

I feel a bit disappointed about that, but at least it explains what I
thought was going on :-)

I wish I was able to help - I could probably play 'code-robot' and
code it up (given an agreed design) but I have never worked
open-source so I have no idea how it all works.

Hopefully it will get sorted out.

Regards
BCH
