Thanks for the report. This is a known bug in sun-java that cannot be fixed because sun does not give us permission to edit their package to fix it.

1) don't use sun-java but use default-jre instead. This bug is actually a known bug in sun-java. (bug #325506)
2) add export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jni to your .bashrc, the .deskop file (in /usr/share/desktop), or on the command line before starting arduino
3) add the new package (instructions are below):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:showard314/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install arduino

This is a duplicate of bug #664309, which is a duplicate of bug #325506
