freemind not working

Installed freemind on my Debian Lenny system (via aptitude), and then tried to run it. However, I got the following error:

Code:

mark@debian:~$ freemind



Looking for user properties:

/home/mark/.freemind/user.properties



User properties found.

Default (System) Look & Feel: javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel

/usr/bin/freemind: line 118:  4436 Aborted                ${JAVACMD} freemind.main.FreeMind $@

mark@debian:~$

Anyone know how I can fix this?

The messages up to and including the internal warnings are normal. The abort is not.

I tested out freemind using the Sun Java runtime engine under Lenny, and it started okay. However, under the Java runtime engine gij (which I seem to recall is the default) it appears to hang (I haven't investigated why this is).

To install the Sun Java engine, add non-free to the repositories and get the packages sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-fonts, and sun-java6-plugin. Then run 'update-alternatives --config java' to select the default Java engine.

Thanks. It's working now.
