Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException

[SpreadTooThin]

I am having trouble getting a jar file to run properly.
1st I had logged into the Raspberry from my MAC using XQuartx xterm

bash-3.2$ssh -X pi@raspberrypi
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
pi@raspberrypi ~ $wish

I checked the xwindows system and found the following.
And I get wish's display on my mac as an x-window.
But when I run my java installation jar file I get this:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ java -version
java version "1.7.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_10-b18, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)


pi@raspberrypi ~ $ java -jar MY-installer.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException
at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:207)

at org.xxxx.installer.Installer.<init>(Installer.java:62)

pi@raspberrypi ~ $

So.. What's going on? Any ideas?
I installed java from

ARMv6/7 Linux - Headless EABI, VFP, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian1

You have installed the "reduced footprint" *headless* version of the Java runtime on your Pi, so it doesn't support GUIs. You will need to install a full version of Java (not the embedded version).
