Before my last post appeared, I found the answer myself. Change "java" to "javaw" in ReinstallJava[CommandLine->"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.6.0_02\\bin\ \\javaw"] However I can claim that I was misled by the page JLink/tutorial/ CallingJavaFromMathematica in the Mathematica 6 Help system, which explicitly suggests using ReinstallJava[CommandLine -> "d:\\full\\path\\to\\java.exe"] This should be corrected, I think.
