Hi,

I happened to read this message on the emacs-devel web-archive (but
don't normally follow emacs-devel. Since I am one of the GNU Classpath
developers (the core java libraries also used by gcj) I might be able to
help with getting your programs working with gcj or another free java
environment.

Please take a look at the RHUG project setup by Athony Green (another
gcj hacker). <http://sources.redhat.com/rhug/>
RHUG contains versions of a lot of free java packages adapted to work
out of the box in a GNU environment using automake, autoconf, libtool
and gcj to create precompiled shared libraries and standalone programs.
It already contains a couple of the Jakarta packages such as the XML
processing packages Xalan-Java and Xerces2-J.

Cheers,
