I'm another victim of this problem, and I also confirm that the

sudo update-alternatives --config java

solution does not work. I have installed and reinstalled so many damn
things that I have no idea what is going on at this point. I do have the
hypothesis that the real problem was caused by gcj being installed
first. I think that it is not uninstalling correctly, and that this is
somehow preventing proper installation of any other Java.

The gcj itself does seem to install and execute from Firefox, but it's
broken Java, with lots of minor problems and a couple of fatal show
stoppers.

Right now I feel like the solution is to use an alternative browser for
Java stuff... Overall Gutsy has been a major disappointment, and it has
been driving me back to Windows much more often these days. I really
don't need the frustration, and I didn't sign on to be a beta tester. I
really do hate Microsoft's attacks on my freedom, but lately Ubuntu
seems to be going in the wrong direction.
