CDK and JChemPaint sure do; CDK is no problem as it is really a library, and
98% of our JUnit tests run succesfully... JChemPaint is a Swing program, but
starts, and you can even draw molecules, so that's a good thing too.
Please read details on my efforts of testing against Debian's Java stack in my
blog: http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/
I'm working towards a debian based molecular (chemo-, bio-) informatics live
CD to take with me to scientific conference and to hand it out to interested
people...
BTW, we have been working this weekend making debs for Bioclipse, which will
depend on the CDK/JCP/Jmol debs too:

BTW, Jmol has more trouble with Classpath 0.20 in sid... the renderer
basically works, but is *very* slow...

pkg-java has a lot of experience with Java program packaging, and is, I think,
the most suited place for this stuff.
