Do you mean "application" instead of "applet?" If not, there are a
few folks on this list who would like to know where you got the 1.1.7
Activator for Linux. :-)

I'd give that fairly long odds. Try to break things down. When you
type "java" at the shell, how long does it take to print the usage
message? When you type "java java.lang.Character" at the shell, how
long does it take to print the "main() is not defined" message? When
you write the tiniest "hello world" program, how long does it take to
run?
Are you running X? How much memory do you have? Do you have enough
swap? When you run other large programs (remember, the Java runtime
is a large program even before it loads your code) do you get
reasonable performance? Is it loading anything over the network, or
trying to?
Lots of unanswered questions.
