I don't know much about the peculiarities of gstreamer-java, but there's 
something really weird in the code of your zip file: You never call 
"Gst.main()"!

GStreamer (and GLib/GObject) are event-driven. This means that the main 
program must engage in a loop at some point (the "main loop") and keep looping 
there indefinitely. API calls made by your program will change things here and 
there. Some changes will trigger events and the main loop will call to the 
functions you have defined to attend them (event handlers). At some point, one 
of your event handlers will decide to stop the loop and exit, the main loop 
will break, and your main program will continue its course.

Gst.main() is the function which enters into the main loop and keeps there 
forever. You need to call it, at the very least, after player.play().

I hope it helps.
