You can try bumping up the timeouts in your SolrJ program, the SolrServer has a bunch of timeout options.
You can pretty easily tell if the optimize has carried through anyway, your index files should have been reduced substantially. But I'm pretty sure it's completing successfully. Why call it with true/true? Is your SolrJ program also responsible for queries and requires knowing about the state of the index?
