Bug#695528: sweethome3d: no longer loads plugins

[Johannes Berg]

Package: sweethome3d
Version: 3.7+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The experimental version of the package no longer loaded the AdvancedEditing
plugin for me, so I look at it and found that it was trying to access the
literal path '~/.eteks/sweethome3d/plugins' instead of /home/johannes/....
It seems that Java doesn't have path expansion, or maybe something changed.
This is easily fixed in the shell wrapper though:

 JAVA_ARGS="-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni \
- -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationFolders=~/.eteks/sweethome3d:/usr/share/sweethome3d"
+ -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationFolders=$(echo ~/.eteks/sweethome3d):/usr/share/sweethome3d"
 
 . /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh
 

Doing the "echo" there forces the shell to expand the
path before passing it to Java.
