Java and X11

This may not be the right place to ask these questions but here goes anyway.

Anyone out there trying to run Java as an X11 app on Mac OSX?

I can't seem to get the Java app to startup in X11 mode. It always wants to start as a Mac app.

I want to be able to ssh to my Mac from another Unix box, fire up my Java app and have it display back to the X server running on my Unix box.

First off. If I ssh to the Mac with X11 forwarding turned on the DISPLAY variable doesn't get set on the Mac. So, I can set the DISPLAY variable explicitly to my Unix box display but this bypasses the ssh X11 tunneling that I want to use.

And even after setting the DISPLAY variable appropriately the Java app wants to start up in native Mac mode and not X11.

Any ideas how to get ssh to set the DISPLAY variable when turning X11 forwarding on? Any idea how to tell Java on a Mac to run using the X11 libraries rather than the Mac libs?

Would be nice if I could choose to run the Java app in Mac or X11 mode even from my local Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
DS
