Openjdk8 alienbob's pkg: Strange behavior
 

Hello,

I installed the openjdk8 package of AlienBob and I found two behaviors on my system:

First: Duplicated entries on in XFCE Menu. Both "OpenJDK 1.8.0 Monitoring & Manager" and "OpenJDK 1.8.0 Policy Tool" have to icons each.

Second: When I try to execute any menu entry I get the follow messages:
- "Failed to execute child process "/usr/local/bin/jconsole" (No such file or directory)";
- "Failed to execute child process "_BINDIR_/jconsole" (No such file or directory)";
- "Failed to execute child process "/usr/local/bin/policytool" (No such file or directory)"; and
- "Failed to execute child process "_BINDIR_/policytool" (No such file or directory)".

Someone else had this errors? My systems is a fresh install of Slack64 14.2 with Multilib.

Thanks.

To get rid of the extra jconsole and policykit menu entries, removes the files below :
