Unfortunately, I don't jave any idea. This does not happen for me under
Windows. Normally, there should be no difference, but the error report
is not very explicit. Could you try to debug it and see where the error
comes from?

Does java works generally for you? For instance:

javaclasspath

l = java_new('java.util.LinkedList')
l.add("my string")

f = java_new('java.awt.Frame');
f.setSize(300,300);
f.show(); % shows the window
f.dispose(); % close the window
