Under Ubuntu 8 (Hardy Heron):
Stendhal won't work with the GNU Java Compiler (GCJ), which is the stock Java installed with Heron. In a terminal window, run:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
Follow the prompts and accept the license to install the Sun Java distribution. After Sun-Java is installed, then run
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Select the Sun Java tools where appropriate. Afterward, you should be able to start stendhal with
java -jar stendhal-x.xx.jar
