Hi!

Am a bit new with Wine and I've got a quite big problem.
We have a couple of vendors how is using Java based programs, and i'm not able to install them under Wine. One program is also using both Java and Corba to communicate with servers.
What happens is that the system is first extracting the files and when starting javaw.exe nothing happens. Any idé whats wrong?

What apps are these?
What version of Wine?
If you're not using the latest wine (0.9.60), please update,
it fixes several hang bugs in java related to startup.

I have 2 questions,

1) what distro are you using if I remember correctly, java is installed
differently depending on distro.
2) Why are you installing java applications under wine. The whole point of
java is to be platform independent.

Yes, but some developers still write assuming you're running Windows

Wine will need to deal with this sort of thing.
