This requirement is about java needing the X11 libraries to handle graphics on Unix. It has nothing to do with the administrator using or not a GUI.

It's asking me a lot of X11, X window packages to install. Is it defined at somewhere how to install Java VM ?
Each package knows its requirements.

Jboss AS 4.2 needs Java VM.
Obviously. Application servers are build on top of java.

- As I wrote in my last email, I dont want to use the X Window GUI neither want to install it.
X Window is not exactly a GUI, more a network protocol and the libraries and server that go with it. CDE, Gnome, and X11 based applications are GUIs.

This approach is correct ?
It's up to you. Installing the GUI (CDE/Gnome) isn't a requirement for installing most applications. Enabling it is very unlikely to ever be a requirement.

Or UNIX admins are always installing X Win inevitable but are only using the text console ?
Unix admins are using the tools that best suit their needs. That might be the console or web browsers or graphic applications or whatever. I don't get you point about GUIs. If an admin is using multiple text consoles on his desktop, he is definitely taking advantage of a GUI. Of course, security aware admins avoid to run a desktop environment as root if that is what you are concerned with.
