gjdoc is not working in the new kaffe package :'(
Also, note that the ant task call the 'javadoc' executable in JAVA_HOME

Me!? ;-)
Your packages are excellent. The only stopper I see at the moment is the
javadoc generation. A new kaffe package has just been uploaded but
without a working gjdoc, but another should be uploaded next week with a
working gjdoc.

This is not a problem, I only browse the diff.gz and it looks like it's
ok.

I can sponsor you if you can wait for gjdoc to be fit and well or if you
remove the javadoc generation in your packages. About the jump package,
you'll have to find a maintainer on x86 because I got problems
generating packages with my non-free jdk.

Public domain is ok for main. But the non-free jdk generation is not.
