Not any special helpful news. At least in my testing on Ubuntu LW refuses to run with Java 7 alone. Nor did it seem to work with the open java 6. On linux you can have a few versions of java installed and simply make java 6 the default (and I think link particular purposes to particular versions.) I don't know how others got LW to work on their Linuxes. But I had to install the Sun (Oracle) Java 1.6 and set it as default to get LW 5 to work. For my ubuntu I needed the jre-6u43-linux-x64.bin file, found here (along with others), without the need to register, give name, address, phone, company, purpose, name of the neighbor's cat. For anybody else who cannot rely on the open JDK version. As the bash script suggests, sh.

I'm found skating the edges of the south pole with feathered friends.
