I have just tried this with SUN JDK 6, Icedtea, gcj 4.3, jamvm and cacao
with the following result:

SUN JDK 6: Just works.

gcj-4.3: No output at all. Returns with exit code 13.

icedtea: No output at all. Returns with exit code 13. Exactly the same
as with gcj.

jamvm: Fails but prints quite some output. Main issue is that jamvm has
no real JAVA_HOME.

cacao: Fails but prints some output. Again an issue with an incomplete
JAVA_HOME provided by cacao.

I will investigate more into this.


Cheers,
