Default Problems running Java files

I came across a pair of programs recently that I’d like to try out. The two programs are electric-9.00.jar and logisim-generic-2.7.1.jar. Unfortunately, they’re both written in Java.

I’ve tried running them like this:
$ /usr/local/jdk-1.5.0/bin/java -jar foo.jar

For Logisim, I get a blank white window with no content. For Electric, I get a loading screen followed by a blank white window with no content. (Nothing shows up in /tmp/electric.log either.)

What’s my problem here? This is an amd64 snapshot from early last month.
