There is a java implementation of xfig called jfig that somehow works. You
can find it there

http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/jfig/

The main problem is that when I tried it I had to use a browser (was it IE?)
that implemented its own java VM. The the MRJ engine does not seem to be
able to make it work. Alas...
