[Omega Weapon <omegaphil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Package: icedtea-netx
Version: 1.3-2
Severity: normal

Throwing this out here so people are aware of it.

I installed openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-7-jdk, then later used 
'update-java-alternatives --set java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64' to switch my 
Java runtime from v6 to v7 in order to test Open Wonderland 
(http://openwonderland.org/).

I later found out that javaws had not switched to v7 - no v7 option had 
been included in the javaws alternatives (no v7 in 
'/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/javaws').

After purging and reinstalling 'icedtea-netx', suddenly the javaws v7 
appears...

So, if you have a Debian Testing install dating from ~2011 and later 
install OpenJDK/JRE 7 then switch over, make sure the alternatives are 
properly configured for javaws.
