So far this is success. There is no problem left which has to do with opengl 
or virtual machine.

The error you get is obviously a limitation in the jhandles, mosaic_GUI.m 
seems to set a property which does not exist in jhandles, you will need to 
make some changes to your original code to make it compatible (this is more 
often the case since octave is very matlab compatible but not 100%).

Since this happens very early in the mosaic_GUI.m (line 7), can you post the 
first lines of this script including the one which reports the error and the 
parameters with which you call it? Maybe it is a trivial change to make it 
compatible.

Vmware is besides qemu (which is not a virtualization but an emulation 
software) the only one I have experience with, so I cannot answer this 
question. I guess most will work, virtual box seems to have a special bug in 
its opengl.
