If this java application is free, then tell its name, maybe someone can
take a look at it.

The pages do not have names, just a pair of numbers. You may try to solve
this problem by disabling desk labels in FvwmPager and adding your own
labels for each page. I.e. create this FvwmButtons layout:

   Label-1 Label-2 Label-3 Label-4 Label-5
  +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
  | Page1 | Page2 | Page3 | Page4 | Page5 |
  +-------+---------------+-------+-------+ <-- FvwmPager with no labels
  | Page6 | Page7 | Page8 | Page9 | Page0 |
  +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
   Label-6 Label-7 Label-8 Label-9 Label-0
