I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Java 1.6.0_18 and can boot Jmol 12.0.6 fine...

The stacktrace seems to originate from line 270 in JmolPanel.java, but
I am not sure why the JFrame jmolFrame = new JFrame(); at line 262
would not have worked...

You seem to be running with a Sun/Oracle JVM too, so that should be fine too...

In the same folder, can you please try:

java -jar Jmol.jar

?
