There's a little mess.
I believe that we've never shipped java-gnome, 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/java-gnome/4.1/ (from 2013).
We shipped only libgnome-java, 
https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnome-java/2.12/ (from 2007).

Oracle has dropped these libraries (except java-atk-wrapper) at 
2015-12-15, according to solaris-desktop~spec-files Changelog.
I'm inclined to do the same...
