No symlinks for javaws?

[David Brodrick]

Thanks Eric, it's obviously been handled correctly on your system but
not on mine for some reason.

/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --list javaws
This gives no output on my system.

But the javaws executable is located in the right spot:
ls -l /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/jre/javaws/javaws
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1100 2005-10-11
09:19 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/jre/javaws/javaws

Symlinks were created for java,javac,javadoc,etc, looks like everything
but javaws was handled properly. This was with java-package 0.24.

Do you have any suggestions why the symlinks for javaws would be created
on your system but not on mine?
Many thanks,
  Dave
