The problem is that I need core classes to compile with jikes. Now I have the choice between the original classes from Sun or kaffe's reimplementation. If I take kaffe's core classes the user might get an exception (like IncompatibleClassChangeError) when using the compiled classes with Sun's or IBM's classes and this is something I definitely want to avoid. So I have no other choice than to build with Sun's core classes which in turn means that the packages can't go into main because it needs non-free software to build. -- Stefan Gybas
