The CacaoVM is currently one of the virtual machines that can be
combined with either GNU Classpath or the OpenJDK class library. The
IcedTea build environment even supports using Cacao's libjvm.so instead
of building it itself.

So if you can make a suitable libjvm.so out of GCJ (or better gij, the
interpreter) you can most likely reuse what IcedTea provides for Cacao.

The Cacao project's development mailing list is here:

  cacao <cacao@complang.tuwien.ac.at>

Just in case you have any questions regarding OpenJDK integration. :)

Good luck with your project!

(Btw: Wouldn't this have been an excellent GSoC idea?)

Robert
