It could be that I don't know enough about Java ;)  I do remember the  
warnings.  I think I was trying to run the examples directly in the  
Terminal.

If it's working for you, maybe I can have you try a binary?  When I  
tried it and hit the error, I was planning on adding it to my  
MapServer binary package.  Let me know, and I'll package that up...
