Running Dr. Java on ubuntu with Compiz enabled

So you tried to get Dr. Java runnning in Ubuntu...and you ended up back at the login screen. WTF?!?!
Well if you need it here's how:

1)Start of by downloading this version.
2)Right click the file and select "open with Sun Java 6 runtime".
This only works if you have java installed. I suggest "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk"
3)When prompted for the tools.jar file the path is:
"/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/lib/tools.jar"
(on ubuntu jaunty)
4) start coding!!!

(for any problems/help feel free to leave a comment)

This is not a DrJava issue, it is an incompatibility between Combiz and Sun's Java.
