As far as library support goes (i.e. the java.*, javax.* and other
classes documented in the public API docs for the JDK), Kaffe tracks GNU
Classpath for the most part, which has support for a subset of 1.4
functionality (and increasing by the day).  I believe Kaffe also bundle
some other packages, such as javax.sound, etc.  Not sure as far as the
compiler and VM go, but I would imagine they are 1.4 compatible.

These com.novell packages are not part of the public JDK API.

This is odd; can you please include the command you run to get this
output, as this class should be available.
