Hi

The Java 2 SDK 1.2.1-2 update kit is now available at our download site.
This kit fixes the remote display problem that you were seeing.

Yes. This is a know problem and even mentioned in the release notes,
as far as I can remember. Another problem is, that Java programs
don't work properly on displays with more than 8 planes (e.g. TrueColor
displays). I've already filed a bug report about this and hope that
it is fixed in a new release.
