I remember when kaffe was really dragging its feet at the
beginning---kind of like our research project :) ---but things seem to
have really picked up.
A picture says more than words:

If this rate of improvement keeps up, a great free JVM may really be a
reality in some months, and then many Java things can move out of
contrib and into main. Good!
For that to happen, we still need more volunteers to help with
development, especially on the non-i386 platforms, and class libraries
(i.e. please contribute to GNU Classpath if you don't feel like putting
your efforts into a single java runtime).
In any case, there is the kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org, and the
IRC channel #kaffe on irc.freenode.org if you want to get in touch with
kaffe developers directly.
Sounds like a nice project to contribute to. :)
I'm biased, but you're are right: it's a nice project to contribute to
;) It's one one hand small and nice and comfortable, on the other hand
it's got a huge code base, devoted developers and a massive potential to
shape the future of java along with other free java runtimes.
It's like Linux in the early nineties, in some way ;)
cheers,
