It works fine  with openjdk-6-jre, it's the default option for debian 
now, it should be the case in the

2.8.9.dakbug-1 version in ubuntu (jaunty?).

The intrepid's version does have the old version depending on sun's java5, before debian people upload openjdk-6 in lenny.


I have last versions almost ready, as lenny is frozen they have not been 
uploaded yet. They are here:
