Known one off the top of my head would be webconsole, wbem, perhaps others. Java even tries pulling in CDE icons and "java extensions" which are indeed needed for Swing applications, but for console are not a big deal, in the instance you did want Java, as long as you didn't need X11, most apps should work, but there's no promise in saying that, who knows unless you try it. I believe the xVM console/viewer is in Java fwiw, so be aware, and there's no remote option yet aside from VNC.
You can safely remote webconsole, wbem, CDE, GNOME, StarOffice, gcc, Java help, Java demos, Java Desktop System stuff, some things may break, but you could extract the packages and fix the dependency issues with simple tools like ldd.
