The program I am testing contains graphical elements, not just text.
Apparently the java engine that comes with Mac OS X uses aqua to display
graphical elements. So my new question is, is there a Unix program that will
run java applications in X Windows? Also, about Mac OS X not being Darwin,
Mac OS X is Darwin, just with aqua, quartz, classic, carbon, cocoa, etc
added to it.

yes, exactly. you are trying to run it on OS X though, obviously, not Darwin.

anyways, sun does distribute the source code to java 2 standard edition on their site for linux, win32 and sun platforms. perhaps you could download the linux version and hack it up to compile, but it would probably be a lot of work.

i personally would like to see apple opensource the non-graphical changes to java that they made, and release a java for Darwin. but I don't see that happening particularly soon, and anyways it's very unlikely you'd be able to have them both on an OS X computer (without implementing loads of checking to see if Quartz is available all over the place, and if not using X11)
