Ubuntu Smartgit won't start


I'm trying to get smartgit running on Ubuntu, and I'm constantly getting this error:

Disabling SSE42Intrinsics to work around bug 6875866.
An incompatible Java version has been detected which has been reported to cause strange bugs. Aborting now. To force SmartGit to use this Java version, set the VM property     smartgit.checkIncompatibleJava to false (use at your own risk).

Please install the latest release of the SUN Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) from:
  http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
or if it is already installed, make sure it is used.

The nabble support forum doesn't work at this very moment, and I can't find any --working-- installation documentation.

I've tried to download the JRE from the link given in the readme-linux.txt file, but that bige me a single .bin file.

I've also installed the sun-java6-jre package from the synaptic manager, and notice I already had the following package installed:

  • default-jre,
  • openjdk-6-jre-lib
  • gcj-4.x-jre-lib.

Adding sun-java6-jre didn't helped.

How can I get smartgit installed correctly ?
