Usually print problems related to luajava are due to java stdout
buffering. Try flushing Lua's stdout.
Just a question. You are trying to print to console, right? If you are
trying to print to a swing window, you have to explicitly do that
(there is an example in the test code with the distribution).

Yes, it's probably due to your print not working. If pcall returns a
value, it is in the stack. Same as pcall in Lua. You can get the value
using the stack functions.
