Kaffe is a Java Virtual Machine and comes with it's own standard Java class library implementation. It is a cleanroom implementation licensed under the GPL.

Kaffe has its own implementation of the standard class library, but isn't 100% compatible with the official Java class library from Sun yet. Kaffe's class library is also slowly being merged with the implementation from the classpath project.

The default 'Java source to bytecode' compiler that comes with Kaffe is KJC.
