That's great, I also tried kaffe and that one works too (more or less)

I understand that this is fixed in a new version. However your patch looks
ok, better to remove the '> 1.3999' check alltogether I think..
Btw, probably adding '-Djava.version=1.3' in the additional arguments
will probably also work.

Fine with me too. Can you commit it (or else I will), thanks.

Before I did any contribution to KDE, my first real attempt to learn Qt
was exacly this. Funny is that back then, I changed to Gtk for this.
Although its not hard to implement, mapping one OO toolkit on another is
quite difficult sometimes.
Anyhow, this project died after it could run my java apps. Also I
lost interest in Java back then..
