Comment 35 for bug 86103

I don't think it's just the JDK. Many people trying to use the JRE are having the same problem (like this current thread, Amadeus Foudray is trying to use Azureus). Waiting for a Sun Java 7 package doesn't really seem like a viable solution for people who not only want to make Java apps, but run them. Does anyone know of a workaround or patch for this problem?

Here's a list of some other bug reports:
