I don't see a problem with java-wrappers script or azureus launcher script.
Can you please try this?
Modify the azureus launcher script (/usr/bin/azureus), and add
DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 just before run_java.
i.e. DEBUG_WRAPPER=1 run_java -Dazureus.install.path="$HOME/.azureus" $UI \
    org.gudy.azureus2.ui.common.Main "$@"

Try launching azureus from command line then and paste the output in the bug.

Because azureus is known not to work with anything other than openjdk
or sun JREs. That's why. :-)
