From the armitage FAQ ( http://www.fastandeasyhacking.com/faq )

Kali Linux comes with Java 1.6 and 1.7 pre-installed. Unfortunately, it defaults to Java 1.6 which has a few issues. You'll need to tell Kali Linux to use Java 1.7 by default. Here's how: 32-bit Kali Linux: update-java-alternatives --jre -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386 64-bit Kali Linx: update-java-alternatives --jre -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64

This does not say much but this setup works before. You may have to downgrade. Also there is a problem with Ruby on the Raspberry pi. But i will presume you fixed that already.
