Probably....;-)

I am afraid also....;-)

Here is the java recipe I use:

#point to whatever jdk you have
setenv JAVA_HOME /home/software/java/jdk1.2.2/
#so you have access to java and javac
setenv PATH $PATH":$JAVA_HOME/bin"
setenv CLASSPATH java
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .                         #to run in plplot/tmp

Then run configure with appropriate options (and make sure it finds java).
make; cd tmp; make jdemos
java plplot.examples.x01 -dev png -o test.png

That last command works fine for me with the current CVS.  Note on newer
jdk's you can use the command "java plplot/examples/x01 ...", instead, but
that doesn't work on old jdk versions so I stick with the dots.

Yes, java with -dev png works fine with current CVS (see above).
