IGV

[Tony Travis <tony.travis@minke-informatics.co.uk>]

Hi,

The "igv" package imported from Debian-Med does not work correctly under
Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS:

> lsb_release -d
> Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
> apt-cache policy igv
> igv:
>   Installed: 2.4.6+dfsg-1
>   Candidate: 2.4.6+dfsg-1
>   Version table:
>  *** 2.4.6+dfsg-1 500
>         500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages
>         500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/multiverse i386 Packages
>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I've posted a bug-report, and a patch to add
"/usr/share/java/commons-io.jar" and "/usr/share/java/gson.jar" to the
class path used by "igv":

> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/igv/+bug/1797819

Please note: I don't want the default to be Java 8 for Bio-Linux 9, so I
forced "igv" to execute Java 8 directly using an absolute path. I'm sure
there is a better way of doing that and I'd welcome your suggestions.

Thanks,

  Tony.
