Ubuntu

Openjdk-Java-7 no longer shows in open with

Asked by D R

Openjdk-Java-7 option is missing now when I click -- Open With. We have been using it for months and used it yesterday. Ubuntu did some updates yesterday.

Ubuntu 14.04 'Trusty Tar'

Minecraft Magic launcher needs this option to start.

When I click Open With, it use to be there as an option -- now only Archive Monitor. From memory I think I use to see two programs, including Openjdk-Java7.

I have uninstalled Openjdk-Java-7 and reinstalled it, no help. All I see in user/share/application is OpenJDK Java 7 Policy Tool, no OpenJDK Java 7 desktop as some sites indicate I should see. I also did some more reading and saw something about possibly Ubuntu no longer supported OpenJDK Java. ???

Thanks in advance for any advice

If you use the WebUpd8 Java PPA you can install Oracle Java easily. Use TAB and ENTER to accept the license.

I suggest you report a bug for the open jdk package

Can you help with this problem?
