I have also been through every suggested step to get Java working
with no luck either.  The interesting thing is that it seems
to be dependent on which display I display it on, not which computer
I run it on.  If I run it from Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris and display
it on my display (FreeBSD), it does not do Java.  If I run it from
FreeBSD and display it on the Linux or Solaris display, it works just
fine. The Linux box and FreeBSD box have different graphics cards,
but the same resolution (16 bpp - actually one Linux box has 8 bpp
and the other has 16bpp and both work fine).  Basically every version
works when displayed on the Linux or Solaris boxes, but no version
works when displayed on my FreeBSD box.  The only differences
between these systems (working and not working) is the
graphics card.  Also the FreeBSD box doesn't have the
Multi-Buffering X11 extension, while all the other systems do.
