Funny application..

The above can be reprased as

"This application does not support proxy authentication. If your proxy
normally requires authentication it must be reconfigured to allow the
application anonymous access via the proxy".

I do not know of any JRE which does not support Basic proxy
authentication, but if this Java application is running it's own HTTP
libraries or if it is a standalone application (not running as an applet
within the browser) then it is understandable that the application
developers may not had time to add support for authentication.

In any case, all you need to do is to decide on what it should be decided
that it is this application. The two acl types you have for this is
  src for matching the stations where this application may be running
  dst for matching the destinations the application may be requesting

then add a http_access rule before your rule for requiring authentiction,
giving the application access.
