I think (as with many other areas too, like imageio vs imagemagick)
having an own implementation would also be very desirable. GNU Classpath
is not only targetted to be used in Linux-Distros, but also in Embedded
Systems or at least systems that are completely different from Linux
(think of all the platforms that kaffe runs on). Also I don't think a
'native' implementation makes much sense, I would prefer a Java-only
solutions for as much stuff as possible, since native code is always a
little harder to port to strange platforms. But maybe you mean with
'native' something like 'our own implementation'? Or is there something
in Kerberos that can't be done Java-only?
