You should still be able to get them with wget though. Any zip classes listed as missing from libgcj are part of the pure-java zip implementation. Last time I looked there was at least one correctness bug in classpath here -- a constant had the wrong (byte-swapped) value.

As far as I know nobody has ever tried this. I'm certain they haven't with libgcj. I suspect not with any other VM, since I've never seen a bug report about it; the few security-related patches I've seen could plausibly have been found by inspection (e.g., misspelling somewhere).

GNU Crypto is actively maintained by friendly people -- big pluses.
