The compiler warning about the image directory  can be ignored - the image
directory is added to the project as a package, so the compiler expects to
find java source in it.
When it is run as an application, you need to supply the hostname of the
server and
the location of the image for the pieces as parameters - the defaults
supplied almost
never work. If you are running the ChessViewer application on the same
machine as the
chessserver, and it is not a web server then
Run | parameters
change the  command line parameters to
host=localhost
images=file:///d:/jbuilder/samplesborland/samples/apps/chess/client/images/cmpieces.gif

modified to reflect wherever it was that you installed jbuilder
There is a readme.html in the project as well
