The port # change was made for security reasons. By default, Azureus opens a port on localhost for controlling itself and ANY LOCAL USER CAN ASSUME FULL CONTROL OVER ANY OTHER LOCAL USER'S AZUREUS INSTANCE. This behavior is horribly broken for multiuser setups and upstream was unwilling to coordinate a fix, so we were left with no choice but to do this.

As far as the Java switching to GNU, this should not happen -- OpenJDK is the default Java. It is well known that Azureus will not function with GNU Java correctly.

Can you try switching back to OpenJDK or Sun Java and see if these problems persist?

Perhaps we should blacklist GNU Java in the launcher.
