So no more license problem with kaffe? Thanks Dalibor. 

I'd also like to know if the problem exists with other compiler/ virtual
machine?

What is exactly the problem for switching to +exception license (I don't
know this area  very well). Isn't it simply a LICENSE  file to change at
the root of kaffe? You have to modify the header of each files in kaffe?

Thanks for clarifying  these points because we are  working to have java
libraries and java  applications in main and I will not  be happy if all
this  work is  for nothing  (f*#@  english I'd  like to  tell this  last
sentence with more power but don't want to be rude! ;)).

Cheers,
