Bug#848257: hdfview: No java runtime was found

[Liam Healy]

Package: hdfview
Version: 2.11.0+dfsg-2+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

  * What led up to the situation?
Trying to run hdfview
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
At the shell, run hdfview, either with or without a file argument.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
A warning message:
[warning] /usr/bin/hdfview: No java runtime was found
then hdfview starts up, but cannot view an HDF file.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
No warning message, and the ability to view an HDF file.

Liam
