Current package does not run with any other java runtime.

I have spent few hours yesterday getting the software to build under a free 
java compiler. I could build it with kaffe and gcj at least.

But I cannot run it properly under any existing jvm, here is the output, which 
is the same with either gcj of kaffe builds:
* kaffe is definitly too slow on my amd64. Unfortunatly it is at a correct 
speed under a i386 chroot...
* jamvm and sablevm segfault while running the .jar.
* gij starts but the GUI is unusable, elements are displayed only when the 
mouse passes over, and menu does not work
* cacao simply hang..

I can provide modified sources that compile with gcj if you whish to dig on 
this.
My idea is that sun java should be free as I read so is it worth doing all of 
this ?
