You could try dropping the firewall completely and see if it starts - if
it does, run:

lsof -i -P

as root and see what port it’s using. Then open that specific port in
the firewall and re-enable the firewall.

which is about blueJ?
I disable SElinux and stop firewall with Yast but don’t solve my problem. blueJ opened but can’t create an object.

BlueJ starts with Java, does it not? It would be with java as the
executable, then.

If the firewall is disabled and it still doesn’t work, then the firewall
isn’t your issue. You should ask the bluej folks what port they use and
then determine if something else is using that port already. Only one
application can use a port at a given time.
