According to the readme:
Installing Motif 2.1
--------------------
The JDK's are no longer *staticly* linked to Motif 2.1.
To make the JDK work properly with OpenMotif, a recent Motif bug
fix needed by the JDK is required. This patch has *not* yet been
incorporated into OpenMotif by MetroLink or anyone else.
To get correct awt performance, please install the modified OpenMotif
binaries available from this site. If you want to build your own
version, please grab the MetroLink OpenMotif source archive and the
motif_jdk_grab.patch also available from this site:
To install OpenMotif with JDK bug fix:
cd /usr/X11R6/
tar -zxf openmotif-2.1.30-3_MLI_jdk.tar.gz
/sbin/ldconfig -v
