Hi there, I'm a bit surprised of what you get from your java -version. It says "gij (GNU libgcj)" and as far as I know, gcj is the GNU native java compiler. I can also see that there is a mismatch between the VM version that should be installed (1.5.0_08) and the version returned by java -version (1.4.2). You should follow the previous advices and reinstall the Sun JVM.
