Hmm If you only want to use the DOS PC for java I don't see why not
using Linux instead ?
Linux even has a good Dos Emulator running such killer applications like
Duke3d. This Dos Emulator may also improve in the future Because Caldera
owns the OpenDos sources. As far as I remember Caldera will make them
available for free for non commercial use.  

But in fact Linux has a lot of advantages over every DOS operation
system available.

You can even Run Linux completly from DOS.
