 I think this a case of the bytecode front end failing to detect an error
 condition, and crashing instead of reporting an error.
 
 If I compile the jetty package from source code, I get:

 ...etc...
 
 libgcj does not hava a java.applet.Applet (although you could probibly bring the
 package in from classpath without too much trouble)

 Hmm... are you sure? Maybe it was just failing to detect the error, and generating
 bad code?
