+ The Ant team strongly supports users running Ant on Kaffe and other

Don't think we have any. We fix problems with running Ant on "free"
VMs when we get aware of them, that's pretty much all.

Don't have any first hand experience beyond Kaffe running on Gump,
which seems to work OK (GNU JAXP would probably work as well as
Xerces, BTW). It has some trouble with rmic, though.
