For the basic classes it surely won't work.

And not only in case of SableVM and Kaffe classpath.
It won't work probably for almost any not "natural" combination
of classpath and JVM. It is because there is an interface between
JVM and _it's_ classpath which is not really that standarized
to allow you full exchangability.

It however _may_ be possible (in future) for JVMs that use GNU Classpath
- if the project decides for some common inteface to JVMs. That's it.
Normally - you won't be able to switch basic classpath for free.
