Not a lot others...
It's the only *working* GPL JVM around.

MWin is very similar to win32. Do you know win32?

No, I only read the Kaffe docs that are there.
I think that if you want to succeed, you must understand Kaffe on X first,
and then try to port to MWin.
I think that if you can have Kaffe working on win32 (WinNT/Win95) first, it
will be good to compare the results.
I think that you should go with a snapshot of Kaffe instead of the 1.0.5
(last stable)
You can find it on www.kaffe.org
Subscribe to mailing list too, it's very active.
For the porting, the code I wrote is of no help to you.
Use the existing win32 code and add some #ifdef UNDER_MWIN when necessary
(not a lot of place).
Don't define UNDER_95 nor UNDER_CE but only UNDER_MWIN and compile. Try to
find the errors and correct them. Greg will help you, I'm sure and he is
very good at win32/MWin ( Greg : :-) )
