There are potentially 2 issues :

 1. your GUI is not dockable. The java error message you get is about that.
 2. Even with a dockable GUI, AFAIK and as you can check the export
    fails as soon as there is a uicontrol component in the exported
    figure : it yields to a white image.

So, for the time being, it looks hard to not use an external software to 
export the GUI as an image.
Fortunately, softwares can be called from Scilab.
You will find here-below some code to be run on Windows (it's your OS, 
according to your report).
It uses the famous IrfanView free software.
This code works perfectly for me. It should be easily adaptable to your 
case.

Best regards.
