I had to do this to get limewire working.


Selecting the default Java version

In Ubuntu 6.06 or 5.10, if you want to use Sun's Java instead of the open source GIJ (GNU Java bytecode interpreter) you need to set it as default. To list installed JVMs:

update-java-alternatives -l

To select, for example, Sun's JVM as provided in Ubuntu 6.06, run:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

You should also edit /etc/jvm and move /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun to the top of JVMs offered.
