For JAF specifically I think we are safe, I checked that GCJ provided an implementation [1]. I haven't compared the implementation class by class but it seems quite complete. I verified that libgnumail-java could build on kfreebsd without libgnujaf-java. On the other hand I tried to remove libmx4j-java from libmina2-java this afternoon and I had to revert the change. MX4J provides an implementation of javax.management which was integrated to Java 5. That makes a good candidate for removal. But GNU Classpath provides only a very limited implementation of this package, and Mina failed to compile on kfreebsd. > What do others team's members thinks of this ? I just dream we could have OpenJDK everywhere so we can move on. I really regret being unable to help in this area.
