Fuerte does not seem to work, why don't you try Groovy?

This worked for me:

mkdir ~/rosjava_workspace
cd ~/rosjava_workspace
rosws init
export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/rosjava_workspace/
rosws merge /opt/ros/fuerte/.rosinstall
rosws set --git --version=groovy-devel rosjava_core 
'git://github.com/rosjava/rosjava_core.git'
rosws update
source setup.bash
echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

Also, someone told me that it's better to use catkin instead of rosws, but I 
haven't looked into that yet..

Good luck!

I need to work with gazebo and some things only work in the Fuerte version of 
Gazebo so I can't switch unfortunately. 

Martin Günther made a fork when you did still support Fuerte. Maybe you can 
include that? 
rosws set --git rosjava_core 'https://github.com/uos/rosjava_core.git' 
--version=fuerte-devel
