Hy Wolfgang, 
from time to time I test JGrass with the Kaffe and SableVM, but it doesn't 
work yet. There are some problems with JNI and openGL calls if I remember 
right. I will soon do some test again and let you know. Hamish pointed me to 
Classpath and Jikes, but I had no time to look into it now.
However, as you point out, there are a lot of other projects involved and that 
will be a lot of work.
