I removed all the gcj and gij stuff I had installed, and now it will run fine. I
don't know why that would cause it to break, but there you go. 

[nathan@ebisu ~] rpm -qa | grep java
java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u11-1.1
java-1_6_0-sun-alsa-1.6.0.u11-1.1
theora-java-20071009-0.pm.1
ffmpeg-java-20071012-0.pm.1
java-1_6_0-sun-devel-1.6.0.u11-1.1

If you have anything in there other than the Sun JVM, try removing the package 
and
see if that works.

I just checked and that's the "getDefaultLang" method from Java who returns 
null in 
this case... It should never occurs (should return "en" in most cases), so one 
can 
say something really weird happens here
anyway, I've changed the line to avoid this error for next version...

Just tried 308 build - still has the same issue. ETA for a fix?

OK, followed nathan.interlude advice and removed the gcj compat packages and 
it's all go.

But this bug is NOT fixed in the current build

also, once gcj stuff was removed I had to do this:
# Setup the JVM
if [ "x$JAVA" = "x" ]; then
        if [ "x$JAVA_HOME" != "x" ]; then
#               JAVA="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
#       else
                JAVA="java"
        fi
fi

I also followed the hint from Akawoz & Nathan.interlude and did the following on
debian: apt-get remove java-gcj-compat
Now it works

Closing as there is a documented fix for this issue and it's a GCJ 
incompatibility rather than something that can be fixed in PMS.
