[moneydance] MD not starting....

[Mark Derricutt]

You'll find your machine is now running a different version of java - Open
Office would have installed GCJ  (hence the gnu.java.awt...  mentioned in
the stack trace).

I know that Ubuntu has the official JVM available as a .deb but not sure
about Debian itself?  Try installing the sun-java5-jre package.

Ubuntu (and I think Debian) uses the alternatives system, on my machine:

amrk at moonspell:~$ update-alternatives --list java
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java
/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-3.4
/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0

Which shows I have three "alternative versions" of java available, running
"update-alternatives --config java" will let you select which one is
actually used.

If you already have the SUN JDK availalble in alternatives, select it.

Failing that, you may have to play PATH hockey in your /etc/profile or
~/.profile file.
