Hi!

Just experienced, that after installing

liquidlnf-0.2.6-0.pm.1

on SuSE 10.0 with java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_10-0.1, Java Web Start cannot be
started anymore:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/javaws

just crashes with

Exception in thread "AWT-XAWT" java.lang.Error: can't load
com.birosoft.liquid.LiquidLookAndFeel
        at javax.swing.UIManager.initializeDefaultLAF(UIManager.java:1176)
        at javax.swing.UIManager.initialize(UIManager.java:1257)

        at sun.awt.X11.XToolkit.run(XToolkit.java:437)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

The reason is

/usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/swing.properties

containing

swing.installedlaf.liquid.name = Liquid
swing.installedlaf.liquid.class = com.birosoft.liquid.LiquidLookAndFeel
swing.defaultlaf=com.birosoft.liquid.LiquidLookAndFeel

but the respective

/usr/share/java/liquidlnf-0.2.6.jar

is not found by the default class path... Sorry, I don't know enough
about Java packages to tell how to fix it... A workaround is to

ln -s /usr/share/java/liquidlnf* /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/ext/

but I have the feeling, that's not the proper way to do it...

After

rpm -e liquidlnf

Java Web Start works again.
