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

 -    link=`/usr/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
 -    if /usr/bin/expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then

 Apply this patch to the native javaws script(see path) and it will work. 
 Please email me with any questions.
