@jingjing, can you confirm whether you can run any java-gui program at
all? For example Jedit.
I do not have such problem for 2.10b2, or b3 or latest 2.10 on Ubuntu
14.04. All jars were directly downloaded from sourceforge.

Can you post the result of `dpkg -l|grep -i jre`?

Usually it should runs on both oracle/openjdk VM. But I suspects it
depends on different builds.
here is what I have:
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_55"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.7) (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

So probably, the oracle-java is more likely the one causing the problem.
Can you switch it back to openjdk and try again?

@Gryllida, this is NOT true, I am using java7 and I do not have java6 on
my system. It seems like something else is wrong on his system.
