[Nix-dev] openjdk cannot run GUI applications in NixOS

[Marc Weber]

I've found two more issues with openjdk:

eclipse fails (strange exception message box) - however it also seems to
fail with oraclejdk .. I will bisect soon.

Amazon ec2 tools don't work with openjre:

  desk amazon n%ec2-run-instances --region eu-west-1 ami-732c1407       /home/marc/amazon nixos   
  Unexpected error:

Maybe there is a way to tell openjre about those trust anchors - I
haven't investigated yet.

I'll post again if I know more details.
