Well, I believe anyone who -wants- there to be a Free Java 2
implementation in Debian could probably work on one of the following
projects:
* Kaffe: http://www.kaffe.org/
A GPL'd JVM, currently at JDK 1.1.x level with some stuff
missing.
* Japhar: http://www.japhar.org/
An LGPL'd JVM, currently somewhere around 1.1. No standard
classes.
* GCJ: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
A native compiler for Java. Somewhere around 1.1 at this
point.
* Classpath: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html
A "clean room" reimplementation of the standard Java
classes. Make Japhar work without JDK.
If someone is really hep to make Java 2-based programs part of Debian,
I think they should start here.
