I finally find the solution. I actually didn't get any replies, but I'm
posting what I found in case somebody else has this problem in the
future.
It turned out to be that the Java code I was calling had a getResource()
call to open an ASCII file. This was working fine when everything
(including the ASCII file) was put into a JAR file. Didn't work when
calling it thru Inline::Java. The code couldn't find the file and a
null exception occurred. Replaced the getResource() with a
FileInputStream() to read the file from disk and everything worked
great.
