java crashed with SIGABRT in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock() (File save or open Arduino)

[Alexander Korsvang Hagelskjær]

Only happens in openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-8-jre. Makes using the arduino programming environment impossible. I tried both the 1.0.5 from repos, and the 1.6.3 from arduino.cc.

Found a Workaround so you can stay in production with 15.04!

====

export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=""

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export PATH="${APPDIR}/java/bin:${PATH}"

The workaround works for me in Arduino 1.6.3 and 1.0.5, and with OpenJDK 6, 7 and 8, thank you very much.
