Many Java programs use the Swing library for GUI development. For this there is the libswing-java. Most programs will compile against this library, but that does not garantee it to work. Not always are all classes implemented or implemented well. An alternative to the Swing library is the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT, libswt-java) which is based on the GTK+ library. A third alternative is the use the GUI functionality from either KDE or Gnome. For KDE, the kdebindings tar.gz does the job (is there a deb package too?). For Gnome there is the libgnome0-java.
