Thanks. I have been able to compile Japhar with the JDK classes.
(Although I am not sure if it works correctly.)
And I can now also build Classpath although the configure scripts
barf on libart. But after repairing a bit by hand I am now able to do a
make all and get the libgcj.zip file (only java/lang/Classloader didn't
compile). Although I do not have a way now to actually use them :)
But I guess that the pure java packages can be tested with Kaffe.

I browsed through the mail archive and that someone is Loren Peace.
Loren are you still out there? And do you need any help with those packages?

Yes. I am very impressed. It seems that almost all standard packages have
already been implemented and even most 1.2 classes are already done.
I will play a bit more with Japhar and Classpath and read the Hackers and
VM Integration guides and see if I can help with the integration. But
since I had a really hard time getting Japhar to compile I am not sure
that will be an easy task. If you know what you want to do with the
remaining atw classes, rmi or swing please let me know.
Cheers,
Mark
