 The script that executes javaws requires a simple patch to execute 
 correctly:

  while [ -L "$PRG" ]; do
      ls=`/bin/ls -ld "$PRG"`
 -    link=`/usr/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
 -    if /usr/bin/expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then
 +    link=`/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
 +    if /bin/expr "$link" : '\/' > /dev/null; then
         prg="$link"
      else
         prg="`/usr/bin/dirname $PRG`/$link"
 
 
 Apply this patch to the native javaws script(see path) and it will work. 
 Please email me with any questions.
 
 Best regards,
