http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=classpath for an overview. I'd like 
to suggest reviewing those patches, and then deciding on merging them in 
or whether another implementation of those aspects of java.text is 
necessary.

Yes, it's a problem I fear for some time now. I also noticed that some 
changes have been made to InetAddress and that I need to port these 
changes without compromising the already fixed bugs in kaffe (IPV6 
compatibility). Hopefully, I will have some time to work on 
kaffe/Classpath in two weeks.

I'd appreciate hearing about it. I guess we should just talk to each 
other more often ;)

I would also like to help.

Cheers,
Guilhem.
