I'm not an expert of IIIMJCF, so just my thought...

In CDE, you can access the selection menu by clicking the title
bar of java application with right button.  I suspect that this
feature is not supported in GNOME or other environments.

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Anyway, IIIMJCF is not well maintained these days, so it need to
be updated first.  The selection mechanism should be
reimplemented in IIIMJCF, I assume.
