It work BUT:
1. The program (SH3D) work best with it's embedded jre.
2. The editors (FurnitureLibraryEditor, FurnitureLibraryEditorWithID, TexturesLibraryEditor) are made to use the system java and usually don't run as expect.
3. I've follow the way adopted by sweethome3d (a bash scrip for start), copy jre folder from sh3d to a folder with editors and make a modified script for each one where I instruct the program where to find and which jre to use.
That's my way and work (at least for me)
