Sort of.  JavaICQ's bytecode has been obfuscated.  Cleverly Mirabilis
used an obfuscator that generates broken bytecode.  Java 2 refuses to
run such code by default.  If you disable the bytecode verifier
(-noverify) it might work to some degree.

Anyhow, JavaICQ is very old.  I would recommend using a more
up-to-date ICQ client, e.g. licq.
