Download the cross-platform Java version of WiimoteWhiteBoard (http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard) and unzip the archive (folder WiimoteWhiteboard will be created)
Go to the WiimoteWhiteboard folder and create a new sub-directory lib
Download the latest GPL’d BlueCove Linux library (http://bluecove.googlecode.com/files/bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar) and put it in the lib folder
Type zip WiimoteWhiteboard.jar lib/bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar at the command-line in folder WiimoteWhiteboard
That’s it. The software should start normally by typing java -jar WiimoteWhiteboard.jar
If it works, you can remove the folder lib and its contents

if you get :
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize.
There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.

on 64bits machines, if you get this error :

you need to install the libbluetooth-dev package :
(Ubuntu/Debian) sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
(RedHat/Fedora) yum install bluez-libs-devel
