A failure happened where when I installed vuze then booted it up I got the message:
The folder "usr/share/java/Vuze is not writable.
This will prevent future software updates from being applied.
Please see wiki for details.
Anyone know a solution to this?

How exactly?

If you installed from openSUSE repos, there is nothing to do, it is
intentional.

As robin_listas indicated, it’s either intentional or you probably installed manually.
If you install from the correct repo (check https://software.opensuse.org/package/Vuze ) permissions should be correctly set for you.
If not so, get in contact with the repo mantainer and/or post a bug report.
Another thread about this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1263003 but I think it won’t be much help, instructions are ubuntu-specific.

To clarify, I meant that (at least for official openSUSE packages)
autoupdates are disabled for security policy. Instead, you have to use
one of the system package managers to do it: yast, zypper, apper… That
is, a single tool to update all. That’s our way, different from the
WIndows way of having each application handling its own updates.

Admittedly,
I haven’t used Vuze in about 3 or so years,
IIRC when I installed it from the Vuze site, it created a fairly typical Java directory tree that was portable and would run anywhere, and didn’t point to any location external to that tree, so updates and other functionality wasn’t a problem.
A working Vuze wasn’t available any other way at the time, so if you installed from a different source you may encounter issues specific to that deployment.
