Virtual machines are tricky.  At the core of things, the virtual machine has to support the multiple threaded nature of Jace without imposing a big penalty on context switching.  In addition, the virtual machine also has to provide decent sound and graphics drivers that can handle the screen rescaling and 48000khz@16-bit stereo sound.  This is always very iffy territory for a virtual machine, especially for demanding games too!  Also keep in mind that OpenJDK/JRE is a heck of a lot better in Linux than the Sun JDK/JRE because the Sun implementation of media (especially sound) is really out of date compared to OpenJDK.

I can vouch that Jace does work in Linux.  It was developed and is actively maintained by a Linux user.  Since its a java program, always try to run it on the native OS of your computer and you should be OK.
