This is how I installed weka 3.6.6:
sudo apt-get install weka
On 12.04 every time I open weka it starts in the second workspace. If I move it to workspace #1, all the new windows it opens are in workspace #2. If I try and work in the 2nd workspace, new windows are opened in the 1st. There's no way for me to avoid being hassled by weka.
If I use MyUnity to have only 1x1 workspaces, weka opens, I can tell because it appears in the launcher. but I guess it's in an invisible workspace as I can't see the window.
I tried running some arbitrary Game of Life jar using java -jar GameOfLife.jar and it opened in the current workspace. No problem.
I tried downloading weka 3.7.6 and running weka.jar directly and it had the original problem too.
This is the contents of /usr/bin/weka if it helps.

I realize this may sound like a "weka mailing list" question, but the fact that MyUnity 1x1 makes weka completely invisible is probably a unity bug...
