Debugging Java Web Start

• All operating systems: Check that you are using a direct connection to the internet. Proxies can cause Java to crash. Under Firefox preferences, go to "advanced" then the "network" tab, then the "settings" button. Choose "direct connection to the internet" or "no proxy."
• Firefox under Debian/Ubuntu linux
  1. Use apt to install a Java Runtime Environment. I have used sun-java5-jre with good success.
  2. Go to the EVO page again. When prompted to choose an application to run koala.jnlp, choose javaws, which should now be installed in /usr/bin/javaws.

If your OS or Linux distribution is not listed here and you are having trouble connecting or have figured out what to do to connect, please let me know!
