Managed to get the java test mentioned above to work by downloading the following three packages from http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/gutsy/ :
icedtea-java7-bin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb icedtea-java7-jre_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_all.deb icedtea-java7-plugin_7~b22-1.5~20071018-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
and then installing them by running: >sudo dpkg -i icedtea-java7-*
So a simple update might fix the crash problem. General compatibility seems to be another problem at the moment...
