Well I was the original person who introduced the hardcoded Java preferences, I'm afraid to say. The original motivation was that the default Java was a GNU based Java which clearly did NOT run Azureus in any appreciably useful manner, so I decided to ignore Java alternatives.
Ideally we should instead work on a whitelist/blacklist type of Java hunting where we respect the alternatives link if it points to a hotspot-like Java runtime or fall back to probing if not. -- Azureus ignores java alternatives settings and crashes with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199312 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
