It did not work before that. This is a headless server, with a very minimal list of installed RPM packages. I removed the IBM java RPM now, and it still works. Now I think that I know why it didn't work before. When I installed the IBM java RPM, it forced/suggested me to first install these packages: alsa-lib jpackage-utils xorg-x11-deprecated-libs So, I am guessing that at least those three should be dependencies to the fds RPM, or some more stuff should be added into the FDS RPM to satisfy the included java.
