Ok, i've seen, the database are created, but according to java, it 
doesn't work, so it terminates the app.

double-clicking in nautilus starts the db-app, but doesn't load to 
finish. The following errormessage occurs:
[err]
The connection to the datasource "file.///blah couldn't be created.

No Java installation could be found. Please check your installation!
[/err]

Shall i install java (jre) from the java-homepage, or should it be 
included in the distro somewhere?
