Not quite.
Kaffe is a GPL'd Java 1.1 VM with it's own core class libs (as of
version 1.0) and its also usually distributed with the pizza compiler
and it is still under active development (with comercial support). I
can't speak for other distros, but it is the java environment
distributed by redhat because of the obvious licensing problems with
distributing the jdk. I think the problem is that because the default
redhat Kaffe install puts it's scripts named as all the java commands
(eg. java,javac,etc) in /usr/local/bin, but jdk keep its exec scripts in
it's own bin dir, people using it on redhat distros think they are using
the jdk when they are not.
