It is a shame i can't be there, because I am currently working on Open
Xchange for GCJ, and that brings up some missing stuff in classpath,
especially the Naming and Ldap support. I got a mega hack in place now,
that uses parts of the latest classpath CVS, the apache directory CVS
and some own code. 

If anybody in interested in it and wants to take a look, i can upload a
SRPM later today. Keep in mind that Open Xchange isn't all that easy to
setup (yer not done with installing the RPM, because LDAP and postgres
also have to be instialized with data and access rights).
