There was a posting about this near issue on the ImageJ mailing list not
too long ago. The short version of the answer is that Apple's native
Java *is not* an X-windows application but rather a native Apple
application that uses Aqua; Aqua can't be tunneled in this way (and
maybe it can't be tunneled at all, idk). There are alternate Java
distributes that you may consider; I know of no other workarounds short
of sharing the entire desktop from one system to another.
FYI: You may find it revealing to google for a few key search terms such
as: tunneling apple java display
Good luck,
-Woody
