sudo ln -s /path/to/whereever/you/installed/your/java/bin /usr/local/bin/java

that command creates a symbolik link in /usr/local/bin to the java
executable.

On my computer, the command I ran was:
sudo ln -s  /opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/java /usr/local/bin/java

since I'm using the IBM Java environment, and by default
that/usr/local/bin directory should in your PATH in Ubuntu.

Then to test it  open an new x-terminal and type "java -version" to make
sure it is accessible.  If it works, then Limewire should find it as
well
