Of course as a Java application, so You need JDK1.1.6 or later (I use
JDK1.1.8).
Then run it e.g. via a DCL command file like the one I use:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$! 'f$verify(0)
$ alpha = f$getsyi("ARCH_TYPE").eq.2  ! 1=VAX,2=Alpha
$ arch_name = f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME")
$ if alpha 
$ then
$  if f$type(java).eqs."" then @sys$manager:java$setup/output=NL:
$  define/nolog java$classpath sys$common:[java.lib]acrobat.jar,-
sys$common:[java.lib]JDK118_CLASSES.ZIP
$  java -mx32m "com.adobe.acrobat.Viewer" 'p1'
$ else
$  xpdf 'p1'
$ endif
