[Bug 96651] Default Java in KUbuntu needs Gtk support

[xlinuks]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

OS Version: KUbuntu Feisty 7.04Beta downloaded CD version.
Java version: "1.4.2", Gnu libgcj version 4.1.2

THE ISSUE:
When the Java application is launched and uses/creates the default toolkit [java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()] the Gnu java throws the error: "java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit"
NOTE: when using Java from SUN (version 1.4.2 or above) there's no such problem.
I think this is because the corresponding GTK libs that the GNU Java depends on, are not installed ( at least not by default, which is an understandable issue since KUbuntu is based on KDE). I'm a Java developer but I haven't ever worked with the GNU Java, so I can't help much here.
I hope this was helpful.
To Reproduce type in the console:
java -jar AppNameWhichUsesTheToolkitClass.jar

** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
