Bug#398448: ITP: openjdk-compiler
Hi
Some people may remember that I was working for a couple of years
on the java-policy, but stopped that after a while because it was so
hard to get things working as Sun java was the "standard" and it could
not go to main, or even non-free at that time. Now when Sun has changed
their mind on this, then I get my enthuiasm back. :)

Seems so. I hoped that I could use jvm from gcj or kaffe to build it. I have
tried gij and gcj. Next try will be kaffe as I want to be able to build
it with things from main only, so it can go to main. I'll make a few tries
now.

Good to know.

I'll do that, especially for the jdk as that seems more complicated than
the compiler. I have filed an ITP for that as well. :)
