you may need to make sure you have selected the correct 'java' to use, as you can have multiple versions installed its required that you select one, you can follow this guide to do that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Choosing%20the%20default%20Java%20to%20use

alternitivly you may have the wrong sun java installed - you may have for example sun-java6 installed whereas your son has sun-java5
