Why do you need DirectX? If you want to write a game, all you need is the ability to draw images, and that is supported very well by the Java2D api.

There are DirectX & OpenGL wrappers out there, so do a search on Google, and find them.
==========================================In a team, you either lead, follow or GET OUT OF THE WAY.
If you want an applet that uses a DirectX wrapper, you will have to sign the jar file. Look around at http://java.sun.com/ for information on that as well.
Star Dart - Java Multiplayer Space Combat at http://www.stardart.net/
The VolatileImage class uses DirectDraw on Windows machines.

If you want a game that plays in a browser, ignore DirectX because it is a world of incompatibility.
