Hi Jake,
Since it was brought up in this thread....
I'm also getting the sof2flash java problems on 64b SUSE linux (& 10.1). I'm probably just missing a doc on how to setup my env, but I've been hacking at it & would appreciate any pointers.
Here's my env setup:
setenv ALTERA_ROOT /home/altera/10.1
setenv SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 ${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds
setenv _QUARTUS_ROOT ${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds/../quartus
setenv QUARTUS_ROOTDIR ${ALTERA_ROOT}/quartus
setenv _NIOS2EDS_ROOT ${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds/
setenv PATH ${PATH}:${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-i686-mingw32/bin:${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds/sdk2/bin:${ALTERA_ROOT}/nios2eds/bin:${ALTERA_ROOT}/quartus/bin:${ALTERA_ROOT}/quartus/sopc_builder/bin
And that seems good enough for nios2-configure-sof and nios2-flash-programmer to run.
Unfortunately, I get this for sof2flash:
>sof2flash --pfl --optionbit=0x18000 --programmingmode=FPP --input=tpe.sof --output=tpe_hw.flash --offset=0x640000 ;

Some additional info in case it helps:
