This is probably because of the launcher changes that Mark made. When I start Chromium from a terminal, it opens in the background too. `osascript -e 'tell app "Chromium" to activate'` works, though (it opens chromium and makes it frontmost), so perhaps you can use that from Java somehow?
I don't know what you're trying to do, but you might want to look into Launch Services (and potentially a language that's not java).
