In a recently installed Fedora 16 of my friend, topcoder arena was not able to start. One possible solution was installation of Oracle Java because Iced Tea Java dosen't have proxy support. Even after installation, javaws was unable to start. One possible solution could be the $PATH variable. I checked, it was like:
[saurabharaiyer@localhost ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/saurabharaiyer/.local/bin:/home/saurabharaiyer/bin:
[saurabharaiyer@localhost ~]$
There was no javaws in the above folders, the default location of javaws is
/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_03/jre/bin
So we just need to change the path variable.
one reference I later found: http://roshansingh.in/blog/2009/11/11/running-topcoder-applet-behind-proxy/
[saurabharaiyer@localhost ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/saurabharaiyer/.local/bin:/home/saurabharaiyer/bin:
[saurabharaiyer@localhost ~]$

PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_03/jre/bin
