I can't speak to the specifics of Ubuntu or ProjectX, but I know that on
most Linux distributions any JDK/JRE that's labeled "free" is gcj or
kaffe or some such. I have seen very few nontrivial applications work
correctly with any of those. My first choice would be the IBM JRE,
second would be the Sun JRE (from java.sun.com, not the Blackdown
version).
