夢

Test OS:ubunt 10.04 desktop 32bits、11.10 server 64bits
Conclusion:The processure of installation is  successful until now and work ok.

Jdownloader work on desktop environment and invoke java.
If reader use the server version os of ubuntu, please install the x2go server.

Because of the Java Development Kit (JDK) in ubuntu system  is default compatible the OpenJDK
and I think reader more like the sunjdk, we need to install the sunjdk befor we install the JDownloader.

There are many methods to install the sunjdk
