Yup, that is what would happen. If you want to use the dynamically
linked Java with AWT you need to set DYN_JAVA=true. This version will
need to have Motif shared libraries on your system. Normally you would
not set either DYN_JAVA or NS_JAVA if you want to run AWT and do not own
a copy of Motif.
NS_JAVA is mainly there so that you can run non-GUI Java applications without
X-Windows installed. Such as server-side applications/servlets. This
reduces the size of the memory used and does not require that X be installed
on the system.
