Laptop is a stock 2.5 Ghz i5 8GB RAM rMacBook Pro, late 2012 running latest mavericks, 10.9.1, no heavy load on it (though uptime shows 3,6), just some chrome tabs and mail running..

It sounds like some lower-level GUI code has crashed or is looping, and this is blocking Java's UI event loop. If you open the Console application after you have killed the Java process, do you see anything that might relate to this? When the problem is happening, is the machine using a lot of CPU cycles, which would indicate a loop?

Where do you see the message about the LaunchWatch process not responding? Is this a pop-up message? Can you post a screenshot?

Simon!
I finally nailed the problem and it was you who put me on it - it turned out there was nothing to do with either java or minim watch - it was a program I had installed, called WindowMagnet, that was causing problems with windowServer, removed and voila - everything is fine.

Weird, I had no such issues previous to Mavericks, I guess something changed there..

Anyways, thanks for the time you took to look into my issues and apologies for waisting it.
