I know gcj is (or has been) behind, but I just tested the inner class
thing with gcj 3.0.4 (package gcj-3.0) and it worked.
What more do you need besides a JVM that kaffe doesn't provide?
Supposedly it has a compiler too ('kjc'), but it isn't working on my
machine. Actually, for compilation use jikes. It's written in C++
and is way sleeker than javac (faster, lighter weight, better error
messages).
