If you create an unmanaged project, you use the GNU classpath AWT/Swing. 
That doesn't work on windows and it currently doesn't work on linux 
either. You have to use a managed AWT/Swing project and there the 
problem starts (http://javacompiler.mtsystems.ch/frame_faq.html; second 
question)

I downloaded JMF and tried a little:
- It needs sun classes that are not yet in gcj. You could add them manually.
- The player window uses AWT or Swing, so I guess it will be hard to get 
that working with swingWT. But you could try...

If you invest some time, you will get it working. But in my opinion, 
you're really better off with mplayer. It plays all existing codecs and 
is stable. Check a early release of my current project:

If you're interested, I could send you the jar for the bluetooth remote 
control (you need a midp 2.0 device with jsr82 support (e.g. Nokia 
6230)) ;-)

Why? Works perfectly on windows, linux and mac...

But that's currently the only real chance to get GUI applications 
compiled for windows.
