Yes, that doesn't look right. It's as though it just ignores the DIRECTORY setting completely.

One would expect that if DIRECTORY was not a valid option there, then the script would croak (or at least complain) with a message that tells you so ... but maybe Inline::Java doesn't do that.
What happens if you replace "DIRECTORY" with "RUBBISH" in your script. Does it then complain that RUBBISH is an unknown option ?

Does it work as intended if you rewrite the script as: 
use Inline Config =>
 DIRECTORY => "/u/narlab/InlineLib/";

use Inline Java => "STUDY",
           STUDY => [],
           AUTOSTUDY => 1,
           STARTUP_DELAY => 40,
           PORT => 14567,
           JNI => 1,
           EXTRA_JAVA_ARGS => '-Xmx800m';

use Inline::Java qw(study_classes
                    cast
                    caught);

use Inline Java =>  <<'EOJ';

 public class Test {
     public static void init() {
        System.out.println("test");
    }
 } 
EOJ

    my $t = Test->new();
    $t->init();

UPDATE: You could also try use warnings; and see if that provides any useful diagnostics as to why DIRECTORY is being ignored.
