JAlbum won't start after export tool selection

[Andrew Goodbody]

jAlbum works OK for you when started using the default script so it must 
be finding and adding JavaFX to the classpath in that case. So 
everything needed is included in the bundle, it is just whether or not 
it can find JavaFX when started by the plugin.

As a test could you tell me what happens if you start jAlbum when the 
default directory is not where jAlbum is installed to. ie please
$ cd
$ /usr/lib/jalbum/jre64/bin/java -version
$ /usr/lib/jalbum/jre64/bin/java -Xmx1200M -jar /usr/lib/jalbum/JAlbum.jar

Then please try
$ java -version
$ java -Xmx1200M -jar /usr/lib/jalbum/JAlbum.jar

Thanks,
Andrew
