freemind depends on icedtea-java7-bin

[hawkes]

Freemind runs with Java6. Therefore it should depend on java2-runtime or | sun-java6-jdk. I don't want to have multiple JVMs and Classpath Libraries installed.

I installed freemind - 0.7.1-6ubuntu2 but there must be an incorrect dependency / java version, because when starting freemind, I get this error:

Anders, please provide the output of the following commands:
$ echo $FREEMIND_JAVA
$ echo $JAVACMD
$ echo $JAVA_BINDIR
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
$ which java
$ java -version
$ update-alternatives --display java

You can look at /usr/bin/freemind to see how freemind determines the java runtime to use.. which is quite strange IMHO, but let's see first what gets triggered on your system.
