It works for me. Here using opera-static 7.53 and blackdown j2re 1.4
Have used opera 6.x and earlier j2re packages.
It would seem that the opera startup script is not finding your libawt.
I think in an earlier version (6.something) I edited the script to
include my java path because it just wasn't finding it. You can look at
/usr/bin/opera (just a shell script) to see what is going on.
Alternately, you can set the Javapath in /etc/opera6rc. Something like:
; Put any default settings here that are overridable by users
[User Prefs]
Javapath=/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/lib/i386/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This should be where libawt.so is located.
Also the opera web page has some troubleshooting info for java:
