rename the topic(can't hold whole post) please and try to search for the releated threads (java, icedtea) and try to search at all before asking.

i have already searched for it then i started a new thread

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

Icedtea gives you (oa) the java command. You can start java apps (packaged in a jar) with 'java -jar jarfile.jar'. So searching for icons is fuile...

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

should i install some older version of icedtea6??

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

Open up the Terminal (Ctrl-Shift-X), change to the directory where you have the jar and type 'java -jar <yourjarfile.jar>'.

You can try 'java -version' to see if IcedTea was installed correctly. It will give you some version info.

PS: Again, there are no icons for IcedTea.
