I run the following Java apps on a mixture of Windows and Linux OSs:

1. HJSplit for Java (GUI based easy file splitter).
2. Java Image Editor (http://www.jhlabs.com/ie/) <- why can't Sun buy
this and other best-of-breed end-user apps,, open source all and make
them optional "sample apps" for downoad via a "wizard" after the JVM
is installed?
3. Azureus/Vuze*
4. Art of Illusion

5. JDiskReport

6. Frinika audio sequencer (GPL)

7. VisualRoute

8. OpenStreetMap Editor

9. Ultramixer DJ software

(Azureus: * by changing the app name to Vuze the project maintainers
missed a big opportunity to sue Microsoft for its Azure which is
'confusingly similar'  to Azureus... ;-)
