Hey that's great news. I'm certainly looking forward to getting OX to compile with GNU Classpath. 

Maybe, if it's impractical to get OX to support Classpath completely right now, we could have a set of patches, separate from the main OX code, which would enable us to build OX with Classpath ? It's seems to me that some code in OX might be have to be changed to do this, so this suggestion.

Looking forward to all the responses

Thanks a lot
