I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and its all repository installed and have got:
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

seems to be OK - I get a problem with Netbeans 6.7.1 (odd stalling 
conditions) which is pure java and possibly using threading which may be 
badly coded?
