I want to use LimeWire under SuSE 8.0. J2SE is installed and the LimeWire Installation-Process finished properly, but i cant run LimeWire.
I got these errormessage:

/*__________________________*/
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)

Stack Trace:

Warning:

The specified scrollbar value is greater than the maximum
scrollbar value minus the scrollbar slider size.

I tried all the things mentioned in the FAQs but it still doesnt work.

yours, Philipp

it's nearly the same with my installation under SuSe Linux 8:
"This Application has Unexpectedly Quit"

and a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JDialog

It's easy to get Limewire to work with Suse, just delete the the jre version 1.1.8. As long as you have this old version it seems Limewire only uses this no matter if you have a newer version.

What directory would the jre 1.1.8 be in?
-scsi

hi,

remove the symlink for java under /usr/lib/ :

cd /usr/lib/
rm -rf java

make a new java symlink to SunJava2-1.3.1 :

cd /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.3.1 java

type 'll java*' and now you must see something like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jul 6 22:53 java -> /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.3.1/

thats all...

and now your LimeWire works fine :-)

PS: you must be root to do this.

even simpler is to enter as root:-
setDefaultJava --devel SunJava2
