    Where are you getting your JRE from? The JRE at java.sun.com, either
    version 1.4.2_05 or 1.5.0 works with Azureus. As a matter of fact, I
    decided to run java -version from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/bin and got the
    following response (sorry for the long quote):

    libgcj-java-placeholder.sh

    This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
    master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
    rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
    masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.

    This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
    installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
    installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
    gij (GNU libgcj) version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)

    It appears that the Sun JRE's are setup to allow for compatibility with
    jpackage.org blackdown JRE's (I have found no use for Blackdown since
    about version 1.1.8, which is a long time ago.)

    Anyway, I found no problem running Azureus with the different JRE's. I
    can make a suggestion that you edit the azureus script and place the
    path to your JRE bin directory in the JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR variable, which
    is about three lines into the script.
