I somehow missed this thread. I had the same problem trying to run
Limewire for a very long time. I tried all the things that were advised
in the readme file,upgraded to a new version of java, to no avail, until 
I realised that Limewire would only work with version 1.3.1, which was 
installed all right on my SuSE 7.1.

This bash file works for me, and is much simpler:

 #bin bash
/usr/lib/jdk1.3.1/bin/java -jar  /PATH_TO_LIMEWIRE/LimeWire/LimeWire.jar
