As I posted on that referenced page, I was able to successfully install 
Java following those directions:

But, as I also posted on that page, running Java is not the same as being 
able to use a Java applet in a web browser.  I can run local Java 
applications on the BBB, but I was not able to find support to run Java 
Applets via a web browser.  Disappointing.

That is a nice little setup!  Thanks for sharing it with us.  
 
I have one of the CircuitCo 4.3 LCD capes and never found a good case to 
mount it in, but luckily, the project never evolved to that point.
 
I'd probably want something a little bigger in order to have more room 
inside for stuff, and to make it more sturdy.

I can vouch that Logic Supply's case is really nice!  

I have the black one and it practically makes the BBB into a nice little 
industrial PC.   I especially like that the case has a DB9 punchout and 
they sell a mini-cape to put a real RS-232 port on there. 

I'm also doing a project with a RaspPi and I wish there was an equivalent 
metal case available for that thing.  Laser cut plastic is nice and all, 
but real metal makes it less of a playtoy.

Rodney and his team are doing some great things.  I've used some of their 
fanless industrial PCs as well as their BBB products.
