I do not know how you get the eigenvector from jama, as there is no
getEigenVector method.
The class javadoc of their EigenvalueDecomposition states:
columns of V represent the eigenvectors in the sense that A*V = V*D,
i.e. A.times(V) equals V.times(D). The matrix V may be badly
conditioned, or even singular, so the validity of the equation
A = V*D*inverse(V) depends upon V.cond().
Looking at your example it looks like you took the rows of V to extract
your eigenvector.
You can also easily verify if your eigenvector is correct:
A * v = lambda * v
