I think that getting the windows jvm running in wine would be rather 
complicated.
I dont know if this works but crossover plugin uses wine to load windows dll
in unix netscape. I dont know how exactly this works but a since yours is 
similar case i think you could try to run the java app with linux jvm and 
make your system use wine to load the windows jni dlls.

just an idea
