How to install SmartSVN on Ubuntu?

Question

I want to install SmartSVN on Ubuntu. I have installed the latest sun-java6-jre package, but still I am getting such errors as

An incompatible Java version has been detected which has been reported to cause strange bugs. Aborting now.

Please install the latest release of the SUN Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) from:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

or if it is already installed, make sure it is used.

How do I do it?

Maybe you also have another Java runtime installed and haven't set up the Sun JRE as the default. Run sudo update-alternatives --config java to change the default JRE, or give SmartSVN the full path to the Sun JRE (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java).
