Azureus Java Hotspot Bug

I have been using ubuntu for a few weeks not and have really enjoyed using it. A few glitches still need to be sieved out but still its a wonderful distro.

This above bug is really troublesome. I installed Azureus through add/remove. It worked like a charm for a few minutes and then suddently crashed. After that, I started receiving this message, and Azureus would fail to start. The reason is that the packages in repos are still old and won't work with jre 1.5 and higher.

The fix is very simple. Download the Azureus2.jar from the latest Azureus 2.5 Release [2.5.0.4].
Replace it in /usr/share/java/

and it starts working again ;)
