Ubuntu
openjdk-7 package

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java is missing

Asked by Arnon

~/netbeans-7.1.2/bin $ ./netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386
gives error :
Cannot find java. Please use the --jdkhome switch.

i used a netbeans that was downloaded from http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/7.1.2/final/zip/
filename
netbeans-7.1.2-201204101705-ml-javase.zip
i unzipped that netbeans-7.1.2-201204101705-ml-javase.zip goes to 'bin' directory and tried running ./netbeans there

java was installed by using command : apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

i discover the fix is that i must manually made a link
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/bin/java
that links to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java

in order for
~/netbeans-7.1.2/bin $ ./netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386
to open netbeans successfully

strace -Ff -tt ~/netbeans-7.1.2/bin/netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386 2>&1 | tee strace-netbeansjava7.log
told me that netbeans searched for /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/bin/java which was not available and then crash, not able to open netbeans successfully

i discover that java-6-openjdk installation has /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java link available and
~/netbeans-7.1.2/bin $ ./netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
always works
