This comes up regularly when the jobjar is posted, it seems. Anyhow,
it doens't count. From the page in question:
(begin quote)
Warning. Freenet developers have discontinued compatibility with the free
Kaffe JVM in builds 599 and higher due to the introduction of NIO technology,
which is not yet supported by Kaffe. This looks like plain nonsense to me
since it means to sacrifice Freenet's main goals to performance issues.
The bottom line is that privacy and anonymity simply cannot be guaranteed
by software relying on other proprietary, closed-source software.
The latest release of Easyfreenet comes with build 598, which is the most
recent build known to run under Kaffe without major problems. Therefore,
you must not perform the upgrade to the latest snapshot or you'll get an
unusable installation.

So, yes, fixing Kaffe-NIO is a prerequisite for this goal, just as
fixing GCJ's NIO is a prerequisite for the GCJ binary distro task.
