[Bug 601061] Re: firefox sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH which breaks javaws

[Tim Booth]

The library in question is libnss3.so.  Somebody already mentioned
something similar in bug #561124:

This also affects sun-java-plugin when starting JNLP applications

Caused by: java.io.IOException: An incompatible version of NSS is already loaded, 3.7 or later required
        at sun.security.pkcs11.Secmod.isInitialized(Secmod.java:130)
        at sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11.<init>(SunPKCS11.java:168)

netx: Unexpected net.sourceforge.jnlp.ParseException: Invalid XML document syntax. at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Parser.getRootNode(Parser.java:1196)

Try any JNLP application

I'm not sure about Sun Java, but I know that
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws provided by package
openjdk-6-jre is prevented from working properly because of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH being set, and furthermore the symptoms are confusing to
users.  The Java application I support starts up and then crashes on
certain operations, so my users are simply telling me "your software is
broken".  The whole point of javaws is to be started via a browser, so
until this is fixed I'd say that javaws is rendered worse than useless
(for me at least).

Cheers,

TIM
