If any of you have problems with Java in Maverick and desire switching from the built in OpenJDK to SunJDK, I found an excellent guide.
The guide was meant to help people install a Free PDF reader, but amongst the directions was an excellent guide on how to switch from OpenJDK to SunJDK (sorry for repeating myself, but this is my first ever helpful post on Linux:))
Head over to Gnostice (http://www.gnostice.com/nl_article.asp?id=182&t=How_To_Install_Free_PDF_Reader_In_Linux#install_ sun_java_runtime_jre_ubuntu_linux).
To be honest, he used the guide to help people making the change using Lucid, but I found that it works perfectly with Maverick as well. If you're running a later model of the OS, then you can maybe run this in a virtual machine, seeing if it works also for 11.04 or even 11.10, perhaps even later models once they're released.
Any sort of feedback would be excellent :)
