I'm sure I don't understand all the differences
between Kaffe and Sun's JDK, but why would one
need to 'port' Classpath to Kaffe? Shouldn't most
Java just work?
Yes.
But the native code and VM dependant code does need to be ported.
This is stuff like the primordial class loader and the Object
implementation.
To a lesser extent things like Socket implementation have to be
ported.
Does Classpath use some features that Kaffe doesn't have,
or uses different syntax for, or has but not quite in the same
manner, ... what?
It's simply a question of getting the right hooks into the VM code.
