It’s amazing that after all this time, a version of Java that doesn’t cooperate with Flex is still shipping with Ubuntu.

Since Ubuntu does not install anything that is not free[as in speech] by default, and since Adobe and Sun don’t allow their software to be installed without EULAs, it’s not really Ubuntu’s choice until Adobe decides to support gij.

Synaptic has it in the database, and it works fine, it’s just illegal to install without user interaction.

I’m using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), and JRE 1.6 is what works at the moment.

I too was having this exact problem with the default version of Java that comes with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, GCJ version 4.2.1:

$ java -version
java version “1.5.0″
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Ubuntu 4.2.1-5ubuntu5)

Downloading and using the latest JRE from Sun fixed it.
