I do not have the problem you have encountered.  This is my setup:

1. Opera 9 from

opera_9.0-20060616.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb

downloadable from

http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-344/intel-linux/

2. Java from the Sun Java 5 packages from the Ubuntu multiverse repository

3. In Opera 9,

Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Java

has

Java path

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06/jre/lib/i386

The dancing Duke does dance in my installation.
