This package is only for developing JNI extensions to Kaffe. It isn't required
unless you are going to be doing that in particular.

KJC is an upstream Java compiler that was largely abandoned and the Kaffe team
took over its development. It should, arguably, be its own source package but
we haven't done that since it is part of Kaffe's CVS. KJC can be run by any
Java VM and is not necessarily tightly bound to Kaffe.

ACK
I will either merge it back into Kaffe or I will generate Javadoc for all of
the Kaffe classes. That should bring it up above the cutoff and still
represents a useful addition to the package.
