OK. Some testing on Ubuntu Gutsy (latest stable).

Building with jikes-kaffe works fine on i386 / amd64 architectures. 

ctest passes with blackdown java j2re1.4. 
ctest passes with gij-4.2.
ctest passes with java-sun5-sdk

ctest fails on example 21 with kaffe with the error
FATAL ERROR: No more room for local references

I believe this issue has been around for a while and is related to the
way swig passes data around. I've tried a couple of things to alleviate
the problem but with limited success. My knowledge of java memory
allocation and garbage collection is a little limited though...

ctest fails on example 8 using sablevm with the error
sablevm: INTERNAL ERROR (source file "native_interface.c", function
"GetBooleanArrayElements", line 25011): todo
Checking the source, this is not implemented in this version of sablevm,
although it is part of the standard JNI. Any functions using arrays of
boolean types will not work with sablevm. Alan, can you confirm this is
your version of sablevm?

So from a free point of view it looks like the best option for now is to
use the gij version of java, or if your conscience allows go for one of
the versions based on Sun's sdk.
