java crashes

[sickofthesea]

I can't seem to get any java programs to run on the pinebook. They all crash. I don't think they are able to initialise the display for some reason. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

martin@pinebook:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

e.g. Jedit, installed via synaptic gives this output:
