It did work. I took the JDK, pinched the tools.jar from it and the headless sample is now running OK.
God (and maybe a few others) know what the rest of the package was for! Was that supposed to be a dev kit for Java? must be a joke! Now I understand why so many people stick with Microsoft... This install, though very smart and silent, puts 20 exe on disk, not even a link anywhere to show what the 1st one to launch. So, unless you read the 1500 html pages which are going along with it... not very friendly... I am happy Servoy did not pack his stuff the same, it worked off the 1st click, which is a key feature for unpatient people like me.
Last word about the name: living in a country which has been chopping off heads for 2 centuries (stopped in 1981), the name "headless" sounds very weird and definitly a bad pick! For sure filemaker is a mile ahead for marketing names! only for marketing.
