I've tried j2c, but it doesn't seem to work so well for me.

On the netscape vs. java front, I tried a test compile on my Linux
machine last night.  Unlike the Solaris versions, which ran at nearly
the same speed, I found that under Linux, there was quite a noticeable
difference - it took over eight minutes to compile using Netscape, but
only around seven using java.  Furthermore, Netscape was giving overflow
errors while trying to compile numeric expressions.

I can hardly wait to give Kaffe a shot tonight.
