FRD won't work in Ubuntu

Hi All,

I want to try this program I read on internet about but I can't make it work. My OS is Ubuntu 9.04 and I have Sun Java 6 already installed. I downloaded the file from your website and, as I read in other site (by the way, I'm new with Ubuntu too and I couldn't find clear instructions on how to install this program for non-windows users in the oficial FRD website) I tried to open the 'fdr.jar' file with Sun Java 6 but after seeing the FRD logo nothing else happens. What am I doing wrong?

Nobody?

I need to see app.log file.

-------------------------------------

Hello.
I have the analog problem.
my cat ~/app.log

25.08.2009 0:13:27 cz.vity.freerapid.core.MainApp exitWithErrorMessage
SEVERE: errorInvalidJRE

I install sun-java6-jre from arhive.ubuntu.com as sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre also install manually from [java.com].

update-java-alternatives...

I have the same issue in xubuntu. But I was able to track down to it was caused by OpenJDK

To confirm OpenJDK is installed, issue command java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.4.1) (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu11)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

Remove that, and install JDK by Sun
java version "1.6.0_16"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

I am not an expert in linux, so I have no idea other application may affect by this change.

they will work much more properly and faster... (by this change)

-------------------------------------

There is bug in frd.sh.
If you have installed both openjdk and sunjdk, frd.sh searches good version by number, but no checks "Sun".
Not good idea to uninstall all other java machines to run one .jar.
You can fix this error manually, but i did quick&simple:
== startfrd.sh ==
#!/bin/sh
# change to FreeRapid folder
cd /usr/share/FreeRapid
# and start with good java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/bin/java -Xmx128m -jar frd.jar "$@"
