You guys are awesome!
It now works out of the box for me with:
--with-jikes --without-kaffe-qt-awt --prefix=/usr/local/kaffe

I tried to create a patch for that last tiny diff.

This adds the following files (all.files):
java/awt/image/ByteLookupTable.java
java/awt/image/Kernel.java
java/awt/image/LookupTable.java
java/awt/image/ShortLookupTable.java
javax/swing/Spring.java
javax/swing/SpringLayout.java
javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicTextFieldUI.java
javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicToolBarSeparatorUI.java
javax/swing/text/DefaultHighlighter.java
javax/swing/text/FieldView.java
javax/swing/text/Highlighter.java
javax/swing/text/LayeredHighlighter.java
javax/swing/text/PlainView.java
javax/swing/text/TabExpander.java
javax/swing/text/TabableView.java

And remove these two files (all.files):
javax/swing/text/CharacterIterator.java
javax/swing/text/PlainEditorKit.java

I did get it to work for me locally, but that was after a lot of
fighting against the build system... :{

In the end I send the whole patch and ChangeLog to Guilhem hoping he
could properly adapt it to the kaffe build process.

It does seem to work and the latest Swing examples like the
activityboard do look veery nice and kaffe.

Note that GNU Classpath AWT should be able to work with any java-like
threading system when --enable-portable-native-sync is used. This tells
gdk to use a locking mechanism that uses normal Object.wait()/notify()
primitives. This is what the jrvm hackers want to use (although it
doesn't actually work for them yet). See the VM threading Model section
in the GNU Classpath VM Integration Guide:
