  Easy, kaffe runs class files, not java source files. What you need to do
is use the command

  kaffe HelloWorld.class

  and that will run the class. To compile the java source file into a class,
use the command

  Kaffe sun.tools.javac.Main HelloWorldApp.java

  I have never heard of the package, but if it has no graphics then no
problem. Otherwise you will have to wait until BISS-AWT is updated to be
JDK 1.1.x compliant so that it works with the latest versions of Kaffe.

  There is a project working on that, see www.redhat.com/linux-info/jolt/
for more info.
