ASDM 7.6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04

[Maksym Kursin]

Hi all!

Recently I'm upgraded my workstation from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and ASDM (7.6.1) can't run now with following error:

net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file. The application has not been initialized, for more information execute javaws/browser from the command line and send a bug report.

openjdk version "1.8.0_03-Ubuntu"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_03-Ubuntu-8u77-b03-3ubuntu3-b03)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.03-b03, mixed mode)

Does anybody also faced with this issue? Any solutions?

This is a bug in Ubuntu's packaging of OpenJKD 8 for Ubuntu 16.04. The field after '_' in "1.8.0_03-Ubuntu" is supposed to be a number. JNLP crashes when trying to parse "03-Ubuntu" as a number.

The Ubuntu bug is:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1550244

A fix should come to Ubuntu 16.04 at some point. In the mean time anyone affected can grab the openjdk packages from Ubuntu 16.10 and install them on 16.04. The openjdk packages in Ubuntu 16.10 don't have this problem.

Cheers,

It appears openjdk in 16.10 is fixed, just not the one in 16.04.  I've made a post re-affirming this.  Hopefully not long now.

I have the same problem.  It's poked.  It also broke my Java softphone.

I am tossing open putting in Oracle java instead of openjdk.  I guess the other option would be to remove the current java and put back the older openjdk.

Just got OpenJDK update (8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~16.04.1) with fix.

openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~16.04.1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

I did a "normal" update of my 16.04 machine and can confirm the ASDM is also working for me again now.
