You are right !

But, kaffe is atm horrible broken for most package builds due to
bug (#295014). Every second package fails due to this bug to build.
libbsf-java is one of them thats why I had to switch. I already
contacted upstream but didn't get any response so far.

Sablevm is also broken and doesn't work at all for building with ant.
Its a known problem (#293509) and solved in upstream. According to
the devel list of sablevm they had some regressions with the 1.10
release and a 1.11 release is expected soon - and hopefully packaged.

With gij I must say I have not yet tried - wait a second ....

Ok with either gij-3.4 or gij-wrapper-3.4 I get the following ???
Same for gij-3.3.

cd . && /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-3.4 -classpath
/usr/share/ant1.6/lib/ant.jar:/usr/share/ant1.6/lib/ant-launcher.jar:
/usr/share/java/xalan2.jar:/usr/share/java/servlet-2.3.jar:
/usr/share/java/jython.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar:
-Dant.home=/usr/share/ant1.6 org.apache.tools.ant.Main
-Dcompile.debug=true -Dcompile.optimize=true  -Dbuild.compiler=jikes
while resolving class: org.apache.tools.ant.Diagnostics
make: *** [debian/stamp-ant-build] Fehler 1

Any idea ?

For libxalan2-java - jamvm is the only possibility (as I see) to build
it with free vm's as no other vm has the ability to overwrite certain
packages (see the libxalan2-java posting - DOM Level 2 is needed)
