BRL-CAD doesn't require Java to build and building with jdk support isn't going to really give you anything unless you are a Java developer that would like to hook into the jni interface to the raytrace library. Building with java support enables the compilation of src/librtserver/.
That said, either 1.4 or 1.5 should work just fine.
BRL-CAD uses Tk for MGED's graphical interface. There is direct X11 window support in libfb (brlman libfb) for the framebuffer windows it can create (as well as a variety of other framebuffer interfaces).
Cheers!

Hi again;
The question is precisely which version number of java should I use.
Also I thought BRLCad required motif?
cheers,
Pedro.
