A change often has consequences and I did not have to wait long.

For some reason I do not bother to dive into, openjdk is hard coded into Vuze as its preferred Java implementation on Ubuntu. When I removed openjdk, Vuze would of course not start. It is apparently a bug (or meta bug) but it is quite simple to fix.

Change one line in /usr/bin/azureus by using “sudo gedit /usr/bin/azureus” and change the line JAVA=’/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java -Xmx1024M’ to JAVA=’/etc/alternatives/java -Xmx1024M’

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 on an AMD64 system I had the same problem. Instead of a working Java applet I just got a grey box. I had already installed Sun’s Java implementation and tested the previously suggested solution. This was apparently not enough.

The solution was however quite simple. Some users in the Ubuntu forums suggeste removing IcedTea and OpenJDK and so I did. I used the Synaptic package manager but you may also remove it using apt-get: sudo apt-get remove gcj libgcj-common libgcj7-0 icedtea-gcjwebplugin openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre opendjdk-6-jre-headless libaccess-bridge-java tzdata-java (I have not tested this myself). After removing the open Java implementation you simply restart your browser and that should be it.
