This is a small description "how to install jb on debian", if the JBuilder installation breaks with the following error:
This application will now exit. (LAX)
Stack Trace:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
This happens, because JBuilder uses Sun's JDK and this needs the old glibc.
To solve this problem you should fist check, which glibc is installed:

bash:~# ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
ls: /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: No such file or directory
If the old glibc is not installed, you have two possibilities: the first is to install the old lib in this way: 
apt-get install libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1
or the second possibility is to create a symbolic link to the new glibc. You can realize this in this way:
(1)
bash:~$ la -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-*
... 256240 Feb 19  2000 /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
... 288444 Feb 27 01:18 /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
(2) make the symbolic link:
bash:~# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
and (3) check it:
debuger:~# ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
... 30 Feb  9 17:45 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 -> libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
Now Java will run. To test this, install the Sun JDK (1.3.x or 1.4.x) and start any swing application. If the Application is running, you can try to install JBuilder. it should work now
