Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed by making jikes depend on gcc-gcj, moving fastjar in a standalone package and removing the leftover conflicting files from kaffe.

IMO this is only fixable by applying a java policy here:
- several JVMs
- many classes
- some standalone tools

instead of:
- several JVMs
- all come with their own classes (multiple versions of classpath :X)
- all come with the same tools

Until we have a good java policy, this problem isn't really fixable, other than to put one of these two in a different prefix, strip out the crap we don't need, or make a conflict between these packages.

Hmm... Don't know a lot about this java crap (still remembering you having "fun" with java on linuxtag :P). For now, I just let the kaffe package overwrite the four files and for my very basic requirements both gcj and kaffe work without problems (so far :P).

/me just wishes sun stops *talking about* and just *does* freedom java :/
