Yes. You apparently need to have the VNC Viewer either in your Java class 
path or explicitly give the relative path to it; I have never been able to 
use the JAR, but have had to extract the actual class files.

I don't know about the listen mode, you would need to look through the class 
code, but here's a commandline that works for me with the Microsoft VM for 
connecting to a remote system when running from the folder containing the 
class files:

jview .\vncviewer.class host 192.168.1.20 port 5900

Note the explicit use of the port numeric. I believe I got started on this 
from the VNC docs, but I can't find the location online now - this is from 
something I did 2-3 years ago.
