I got FrostWire to work as well but instead of Sun's Java I used Icedtea6 (based on OpenJDK) from the repos.

1. Install icedtea6 from repos via App Manager.

Then the rest is the same as lq_sunshine's steps.

2. Download the frostwire tarball
from http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads and extract it to a folder like /home/user/Mydocs/

Code:
tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch.tar.gz -C /home/user/Mydocs/

3. Launch it with

Code:
java -jar /home/user/Mydocs/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch/FrostWire.jar

(note thate your Frostwire folder or archive name may be a different one, replace X.XX.X with current frostwire version number)
