html2pop3: JAVA jre 1.5.0 64bit run-time problem

[macubo]

Hi all, I need to get mails from providers who forbits to do it if the adsl you're using is not theirs.. so I use html2pop3 (http://www.baccan.it/index.php?sezione=html2pop3&email=si) which is a simple bridge html-pop3 allowing you to read your email directly from your client..

It is done in java 4, but, as I'm running Ubuntu Feisty 64bit, I took from the repos the sun-java5-jdk (and jre), version 5.0u11, and plan to use it with Eclipse.

When I run the start-up script (./html2pop3 start), I get the following:
manuele@manuele-laptop:/usr/local/bin/html2pop3-2.32$ ./html2pop3.sh start
Avvio di html2pop3...

It seems a problem related to java language, maybe some incompatibility between java 4 and 5, but on winXP I currently use JRE 5.0u11 with no problems. May this be a 64bit issue?

Any help appreciated. Thank you


EDIT: Got it working... sorry but it seems that I can only find the solution AFTER posting for some help from you..
Anyway, found this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcj-4.1/+bug/90380). Some minor problems however persist, infact I cannot see the GUI interface, while the server works perfecly.

It looks like you still have GCJ installed, which takes "precedence" over the Java 5 JVM. Uninstall GCJ (if you can), otherwise you'll have to mess around with update-alternatives to ensure the Java 5 JVM is your default "java"

Awesome, this worked for me, thanks.
