openSUSE 12.3 x86_64, KDE 4.10

i used java.awt.Desktop.open(File file) to launche the associated application to open the file. i received an exception: "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Desktop API is not supported on the current platform".

2 Solution

i got a solution from "7181889 : Desktop API not supported exception on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 - bugs.sun.com": "To be supported Desktop API requares gnomevfs-2 library."
i installed libgnomevfsmm, and also libgnome,libgnomeui,libgnomeuimm, via yast, then it works.
