Problem with Vuze - failure on startup
by Stephen Fluin 2010.03.02I'm running the Lucid Lynx alpha, so keep that in mind. Recently my installation of Vuze / Azureus stopped being able to launch properly. Running the command in the console provided me the following:

Fixing this issue with vuze and swt
It turns out that the temporary solution was to make a link to the correct placement of the swt.jar file. For me this meant running the following:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar /usr/share/java/swt.jar
With this change, Azureus is able to find the swt jar, and is able to launch successfully. This will hopefully get overwritten when the package maintainers fix the issue and solve the problem in a more long-term manner.
