unable to convert plan to .svg using sweerhome3d 6.5.2 on centos 7
Hi

System Info
-------------

$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

$ uname -a
Linux lb-cam-bca-12 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 13 22:55:44 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_292"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)

$ javaws -version
icedtea-web 1.7.1 (rhel-1.el7-x86_64)

----------------------------------------------

I downloaded SweetHome3D.jnlp and used the command:

$ javaws SweetHome3D.jnlp

to open it.

This seemed to work OK, but when I open a .sh3d file and try to convert it to svg format by going to:

Plan->Export to SVG format ...

It does not do anything. "Export to SVG format ..." does not highlight.

If I install the same sweet home version on a windows 10 machine I can export to .svg fine.

Would anyone have any idea why this might not work on a centos 7 machine ?
Is this the correct way to run swwet home on linux (using the .jnlp file), or do I need to download a different file ?
