I am using squeeze.
To join a webcast, I download a .jnlp file. ( I am using Iceweasel)
When it is finished downloading, a pop-up box offers me to open it
with "Sun Java 6 Web Start (default)".
I accept, and then I get a number of errors, with the heading
"Application error - unable to launch the application"
When I enquired with the supplier, I was told that I need
to have the Java Runtime Environment from www.java.com installed.
I am probably trying to open the .jnlp with the wrong Java.
Questions:
How do install the java from www.java.com using aptitude?
How do I ensure that this is the Java that is automatically chosen
from within Iceweasel to open .jnlp file?
