Bug Description
Hi
I have before encountered an issue trying to development on 64bit OS with Java as some pre-compiled libs require Java 32bit. When trying to use this as a valid JDK it fails because this clearly isn't the case.
lsb_release -rd

I currently have found work arounds for this but because of the hacky nature of them I am not sure where they would fit in the package or what the correct form would be to submit them.
I would gladly accept pointers and I can try patch it my self.
#patches the missing libs and bianries ;/ really not sure this these *best* way to do it. Bug will be filed on LP
cd /usr/lib/
ln -s ../java-6-sun/lib/ lib
