applications started using your environment. For example, try one of the demos bundled with the SDK.
Two ideas: 1) Try to run a Java app as root to see if it is a permission problem, for example java related xxx.so shared libraries being only readable by root. (If you can't su root, check the permissions of all files and directories of the SDK.) 2) May be another Java run time was already installed on your machine and causes a conflict.
