Old issue from mailing list but have the same need...

[Karl Denninger]

I'm trying to shed Windows on my laptop in favor of FreeBSD-11.

The one thing I absolutely must be able to do in order to accomplish
that, however, is get into some SuperMicro boxes that I manage on the
road via their KVM.  It's a Java app (I know), and there is a Windows
and Linux "setup" that gets grabbed based on the architecture and OS.

I've tried hacking the downloaded little "trigger" applet (.jnlp) to
call IcedTea (which I have loaded) but it appears that's impossible --
While I can get it to call up the Linux .jar file from the host but when
that tries to run with my hacking the "FreeBSD" architecture lines in I
get unresolved shared libraries -- it appears the .jar file it grabs has
direct links to several built into it.

I think I can get this to work however, _*if*_ I can figure out how to
load the Linux jre code.  The interpreter should then THINK I'm on a
Linux box, get the right .jar file and run with it.  So far, however, no
joy -- there's no package, there IS a port, but the version is
hopelessly out of date.

I have the basic linux compatibility loaded and the shared libraries
required are there under /compat, so basically what I'm wondering is if
anyone has done this -- and if so, if there are some pointers as to how
to grab the necessary Linux bits and get them stuffed in the right
place.  I think I can convince FireFox to call the correct interpreter
once I get that far.

Any help appreciated!
