Let me see if I understand what you want: You have a Unix server and a
Win32 client. You want a Java program to run on the server and display a
user interface on the client.

If this is correct, then yes, you will need an X server on the client
machine. The alternative is to run the Java program as an applet in a
browser -- but then it will be running on the client, not the server,
and will need to connect to some server side components (a database or
an ORB) to do whatever it does.

What does the program on the server do?
