Raspberry Pi won't start .jnlp file

2.6k Views Asked by At

I've installed Java (1.8) and icedtea, but when I use (sudo) javaws myapp.jnlp it acts like it's going to start, prompting me with a "Are you sure you want to run this application" dialog, but when I click "Yes," it closes, stating this:

ERROR: javax.jnlp.BasicService not available

This application must be started by Java Web Start

Is this a problem with icedtea or a problem with the application itself? And, do you know how I can fix it?

I'm on a Raspberry Pi, but I don't know which one. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a 3, and it's using Raspbian.

Install the Icedtea Plugin by typing:

sudo apt-get install icedtea-8-plugin

If the File is still not opened look for it in the file manager. Right click, open with... Second Tab "userdefined..."
