BitTorrent client, written in Java. Java isn't completely new to me, but
I'm at a loss as to what to do when it doesn't work.

So I downloaded the latest stable version of Azureus, 2.5.something I think.
It came as a ".jar" file' Great. What do I do with that?

I did a "man -k java", and that seemed to indicate that "gij" (a JIT
compiler) was called for, as in "gij -j jarfile". It didn't work (no such
file or similar, basically gij isn't in $PATH).

Next is "java":

eben@pc:~$ which java
/usr/bin/java
eben@pc:~$ file /usr/bin/java
/usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java'
eben@pc:~$ file /etc/alternatives/java
/etc/alternatives/java: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java'
eben@pc:~$ file /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java: symbolic link to `../../../../bin/gij-4.0'
eben@pc:~$ file /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/../../../../bin/gij-4.0
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/../../../../bin/gij-4.0: ELF 32-bit LSB
executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), stripped
eben@pc:~$

Jeez, that's deep enough. But:

eben@pc:~$ java tmp/Azureus2.5.0.4.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
tmp/Azureus2.5.0.4.jar
    at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tmp/Azureus2.5.0.4.jar
    at java.lang.Class.forName(java.lang.String, boolean,
java.lang.ClassLoader) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0)
    at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0)

So, what do I do now?

terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not furnish the sums demanded.
Yet these disasters seem never to have been quite real. -- D.  MacArthur
