Hello Eric,

Sorry if I reacted too quickly on this bug.

My pbuilder is clean and up to date.
I didn't define JAVA_HOME explicitly anywhere in my pbuilder.

openjdk-6 (6b23~pre8-2) introduced changes related to multi-arch, so
now /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk is not a valid JAVA_HOME anymore.
In my workstation (amd64) /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64 is a valid path.

I went ahead and committed a change in freemind (and freeplane since it
seems to have the same bug) to switch to default-java that provides a
stable JAVA_HOME path and it points to openjdk-6 in almost all
architectures anyway.

Feel free to revert my changes if you find something wrong.
Cheers,
