Hi all,
I have just installed jAlbum, and woe, it seems it won't work with jdk7-openjdk:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/206007
Anyway, does anyone know how to get round this issue, or to install sun java? I'd really prefer to not use sun java...if you know any alteratives, that'd be great. I'm just looking for a better way to organize and present my photos, with a little more visual appeal.
Oh, I'm a newbie too.

What desktop environment do you use? I personally use gnome with shotwell as my photo organizer. There a lot of photo organizers. A could place to start would be alternativeto.net. Openjdk 6 might work with jalbum. I am not sure how you are installing jalbum. The version from aur does not seem to be a source version. Compiling from source could solve the problem. Any possibly useful output when running jalbum from terminal.

I'm using LXDE. I had a look at alternativeto.net, but there wasn't wuch that tickled my fancy.
When I run from terminal, on start I get
$ jalbum

Oh, and I wouldn't know how to compile from source --- I just used the AUR PKGBUILD. Should I ask them there how they get it to work?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bump my own post, but does anyone have a solution?

Solved by using Oracle:
