You probably have both OpenJDK and the Sun VM installed, in which case the solution is to: update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun (Or java-5-sun if you installed version 5). I'm assuming you installed it via apt-get/synaptic/some other package manager... if you downloaded it from sun directly, it's a little more tricky, you have to set paths etc.
If you have done both steps, and it still doesn't work, then by all means contact us, either via the support list, or me personally. This is not our bug, nor does it affect most of our users (80% or so of our downloads are still Windows), and it is not easy to automatically correct for it nor would it be appropriate IMHO. It will in all likelihood be fixed in the next version of Ubuntu; the fixed OpenJDK is already in their testing distribution. And you really should have asked the support list. Which AFAIK is reasonably well signposted on the website (I think there's a link on the download page), but we will check.
