Hehe... well, I was commenting on that command itself - it's stupid, hence the "".

In your postinst, run update-desktop-database without any arguments.

Try creating the following images:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/mimetypes/application-x-jar.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/application-x-jar.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/mimetypes/application-x-jar.png

That said, the PDF Viewer just lives off one image: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pdf.png

I'd like to sort those two irritating glitches out, then work with you to figure out how best to do this 'virtual' package business.

Don't hurry. I am quite busy either.

From the practical point the differences are that this package (mmjre) installs the Sun Embedded JRE (Java Runtime Environment) while the icedtea6 package installs basically the OpenJDK JRE and JDK (Java Development Kit).
So if you want to "just" run Java applications you can use any of these two.
If you want to develop Java applications on your N900 you'd have to go with icedtea6
Also note that Dak is working on a convenient way for launching downloaded applications from *.jar files. The icedtea6 package still requires you to start downloaded applications from the command line using "java -jar application.jar".

There are also some differences with respect to licensing e.g. the icedtea6 package is OpenSource; don't know which license the Sun based package is using.

There also might be differences with respect to which degree the different versions are optimized for use on embedded platforms.
What I can say for the icedtea6 package is that I currently uploaded two different versions.
The first one (icedtea6 1.5.0-7 in extras-testing) packages a version of the OpenJDK which was optimized for running on embedded platforms but it only features an interpreted mode (http://camswl.com/).
The second version (icedtea6 1.8-2 in extras-devel) simply repackages the OpenJDK packages from Debian for optification. This version also includes a Just In Time compiler (JIT).
Though, I didn't do any benchmarks so I cannot tell how these really compare performance-wise.

That one simple change fixed it. Thanks One-click jar execution from the file manager is now a reality. Nice.

However, I notice that when you browse your filesystem in the web browser ("file:///") you can select a pdf and it will fire up the pdf reader. This doesn't work for jarfiles, which is a shame, because if it did work we could put direct shortcuts to the jarfile on the desktop.

Tried this...no joy.

I've tried every combo I can think of. I even set the desktop file "Icon" entry thus:

Icon=/opt/java/java_icon.png

...and it still didn't show up.

How can something so apparently trivial be such a PITA?

Thanks for packaging this, Dak! Have you considered splitting this into two separate .debs, one for the actual ejre from Sun and one for your scripts and tools? That way it wouldn't be necessary to redownload 30 MB whenever you update your scripts.

What is the difference between Your work and the Microemulator? Should I have both installed because they have other possibilities and functions?

DO NOT BUY A N900 TO DO THIS (or any Nokia for that matter)

If you are TRADING, DO NOT buy a N900. There is NO OBLIGATION from the community or Nokia to support you. Since you are TRADING, you have money at stake - if software incompatibilities/glitches happen to you at the wrong time, then you could be screwed and be out of action for extensive periods of time. If you install the wrong app, then your phone could be out of action.

Instead, get a POPULAR phone that is RECOGNISED by software houses (andriod or iphone) has extensive SUPPORT to run this software so that you can get good support (e.g. Interactive broker app for iphone) when you need it.

p.s. - Yes I trade, so I am not being alarmist. I will never rely on my N900 to trade.
