To the original poster:

Which JDK are you using? The native one from pkgsrc is probably too old
(v1.1.8). I use the Linux JDK from lang/sun-jdk14, which works fine for
me, but it wont be of any use if you're not on an i386 platform.

It probably should be posted on this list, as running Java on NetBSD 
isn't as simple as grabbing a JDK from Sun.
