Thanks a lot Tobias! Yes, I got it working now after purged the 
java-gcj-compat, and re-configured the java alternatives for system.

One another thing: I put the variable JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile or 
$HOME/.bash_profile file, but I can't get the value in terminal until 
manually source the file:
# source /etc/profile
# cat /etc/profile

........
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun; export JAVA_HOME
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib; export CLASSPATH
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;
export PATH
.......

I use rxvt as my terminal. I have to manually source the profile before 
running the java program in terminal.

Any ideas about it?

Thanks.
