Nadine, Michael Michaud may be able to clarify this for us, as he wrote the DXF plug-in for OpenJUMP. I think the problem you are having with your import of polygons is the way AutoCAD represents "polygons". For example, in most AutoCAD flavors a polygon is simply a closed polyline entity. In something like AutoCAD Map there is an acutal "polygon" entity.
I don't think the DXF plug-in for OpenJUMP recognizes closed polylines as polygons. Hopefully someone else can confirm this. If it does not recognize closed polylines as polygons, you maybe be able to inport the DXF file as LineStrings and then use one of OpenJUMP other tools to convert them to polygons.
