Thanks Ernie for your prompt response!

I just set the DISPLAY variable to the IP of the machine
with no luck, the error now is:

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using
'129.50.0.202:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
           at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method)
           at
           at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
           at java.lang.Class.forName0(Compiled Code)
           at java.lang.Class.forName(Compiled Code)
           at
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:63)

Set your display variable to include the machine name or ip address.

Assuming a machine name of orion
Assuming orion has an ip address of 12.345.67.890

set your display variable to be one of the two:

        orion:0.0
or
        12.345.67.890:0.0

this should solve your problem
