I don't use OpenJGK, but your problem has nothing to do with the version of 
Java being used anyway ...

In java, the string handling class is called 'String', not 'NSString'. That is 
to say, the String class in the Java world maps to the NSString class in the 
ObjC world (in a similar way that a Java integer maps to an ObjC integer).

You could try looking at the stuff in the Examples directory and reading the 
documentation files in the package (or reading Apple's documentation/tutorials 
if they are still available on the web).
