(jalview released 2.8.2)

please update the md5sum for the jalview.jnlp

I'm using Kwin/KDE. I've only just moved to Arch, so I've not tried the 2.8.0 version before. (I never had these problems in Kubuntu, although I'm not sure what version I ran.) I get the same glitches using the Java Web Start version.

I'm certainly happy to test removal of JGoogleAnalytics_0.3.jar at least, once I get Jalview working. I guess a potential problem is that removal of some components might break obscure parts of Jalview that I don't use, for others.

Hmm, it seems to work fine on my system (OpenJDK 1.7.0_55 on AwesomeWM). What window manager are you using? Did this problem occur with the 2.8.0 version? Does the problem also occur when you launch the JalView Desktop from their homepage via Java Web Start (the purple button on http://www.jalview.org/)?

The jar files included in the installation are all the ones listed in the JNLP file. I'm not sure if this is the minimal required set but if anyone is willing to try removing some of them and test if Jalview still runs, I'd be happy to remove them from the build :)

It builds fine, but after launching there are many graphic glitches, making it unusable. (See screenshot https://i.imgur.com/YhN0tsm.png ) I get this for openJDK (1.7.0_55) and Oracle Java (Java version: 1.7.0_60).

Also, I'm not sure if it's necessary, but the build installs in a whole lot of files such as /usr/share/java/jalview/JGoogleAnalytics_0.3.jar

The download links for both the source package and the installer that I've used so far to build the package are still on 2.8.0. I had to create a new build strategy that will parse the jar filenames from the JNLP file for the Jalview Desktop link. Hopefully this will work for everybody - feedback is appreciated :)

Newest version is 2.8.1.

Updated - I just wasn't on e-mail for a few days, I still have time to maintain the package. Thanks for the offer :)

Please update the MD5 hash.

If you have no time or interest in the package anymore, please disown it and I'll adopt it. Thanks.
