When something gives a warning that says 'this thing probably won't work',
it pays to pay heed, even if it doesn't immediately fail stop.

Indeed!

On the subject of trying random things, the one Java+USB weirdness I know
about (using the Altera JTAG stack, which is mostly C++ but some higher
level tools are in Java) is fixed via installing the libudev0 package. 

Seemingly the JTAG tools try to use the bindings for libudev but an old
version and then try something less reliable if they aren't found.  I've
found that symlinking /usr/lix/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0
fixes that - only just discovered there's a 'libudev0' package that does it
properly.

I doubt this is the OP's problem though.
