Bug#619140: freemind: fails to start: "Checking Java Version..." forever

[Stefan Denker]

I am trying to reproduce this Bug... 

Just one quick question: You're using OpenJDK, right? And if you do,
does switching to the Sun-JDK "fix" it for you? 

This worked for me, I've installed the JDK from Sun and modified
/usr/bin/freemind: 

--- /usr/bin/freemind	2011-05-07 13:21:55.000000000 +0200
+++ /tmp/freemind-old	2011-05-07 13:21:30.000000000 +0200

 	if [ $? -ne 0 ]


This may just be a Bug in OpenJDK we're dealing with.
