Hi Everybody - I use J by running "jee.exe" under emacs and am very happy with the result as I can use emacs within my J session but also have the graphics available. However, I'm running a very middle-of-the-road system - 32-bit XP - so have not had to deal with any Java/J incompatibilities. This environment translates well to Mac, too, though I've played around with it less there.
