Kaffe is a cleanroom (what you mean by "actual"?) implementation of the
full JDK, developed from specs rather than ported from Sun source. There
is also Japhar (a JVM only), GNU Classpath (core class libraries only),
and Mozilla ElectricalFire (a JVM-only with a different approach to
class compilation). Of the cleanroom implementations, Kaffe appears to
be the most functional.
As for other ports, there are of course the ports for other Linux
platforms (Alpha, Sparc, etc.) - recently the subject of some hot debate
in this list. If there are any other Linux/i386 ports about, they
haven't gone public. Offhand, I can't think of anyone else likely to be
in this business.
