Wow thanks! I never knew such a tool was out. I just tried it and it works

I doubt youre missing anything, all I have installed is sun-j2re1.5. I'd bet
money youre having the same problem I did. Check your java settings. Do
`sudo update-alternatives --config java` and check to make sure youre using
the sun version instead of gcj as default.
