Chromium OS Crippled Java?

I have Chromium OS Diet installed on a memory card. I use it to boot up Chromium OS on my netbook. From its virtual terminal, I found that it comes bundled with Java 1.6 (OpenJDK) runtime environment. What a thrill to be able to run Java applications on Chromium OS.

So far, Java command-line applications run just fine. But when I try to run a Java GUI app, I get the following error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so

Looking in the directory structure, I found the "xawt" sub-directory completely missing. That puts a damper on running Java GUI applications. Did Google disable Java GUI API on purpose?

Title: Chromium OS Runs X Window Applications
Weblog: GearHack
Excerpt: It shouldn't be a surprise. After all, Chromium OS is Linux, based on the Ubuntu Karmic distribution. In Chromium OS, I mounted the hard drive, which has Ubuntu 6.06 installed (with the following command). mkdir /tmp/disk && sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /tmp/disk Then I executed "xlogo". I . . .
