Java on Ubuntu

[Curtis Seyfried]

I am having problems running Java apps on Ubuntu.
This is a typical bash file I write to execute the jar 

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/bin/"
classpath="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/bin/;/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/lib/;/opt/Zoe/;/opt/Zoe/Extra/;/opt/Zoe/Library/;/opt/Zoe/Library/java/;/opt/Zoe/Bundles/"
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/bin/java -jar Zoe.jar

I have rarely had problems with this before except where the jar is
really broken.

I want to run a frontend for hylafax, or which there are some excellent
Java apps; and, ZOE, which is an incredible e-mail indexer and search
tool.
