Bug Description

Would be nice of the shell wrapper would pick up IcedTea. The patch:

Oh, and a recommends or even depends in the debian/control would be nice too. The package to depend on is

icedtea-java7-jre

Thanks for the note and the patch; that's really good news!

At the moment I'm a bit reluctant to introduce a new dependency because theres no icedtea package in Debian (note that the JabRef package in Ubuntu is taken from Debian unstable).
Changing the wrapper script shouldn't hurt, and I'll keep an eye on IcedTea.

Cheers,
gregor

2.3-2 with the patched wrapper script has been uploaded to hardy 2 days ago.
I'm not yet closing this bug because the depends/suggests on icedtea is still missing.
