See http://www.peakpeak.com/~tromey/blog/2005/09/05/#ninety for the source and http://planet.classpath.org/ for some disclaimers of that number (and some nice screenshots!)

JEdit should (partially work) but note the following from the release notes:
This release depends on gtk+ 2.4 for AWT support. But gtk+ 2.6 or higher is recommended. Included, but not activated by default in this release is a Graphics2D implementation based on the Cairo Graphics framework (http://www.cairographics.org). Enabling this makes programs like JFreeChart and JEdit start up on GNU Classpath based runtimes. To enable this support install the cairo 0.5.x snapshot, configure GNU Classpath with --enable-gtk-cairo.
And then you need to run it with something like:
jamvm -Dgnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.Graphics=Graphics2D -jar jedit.jar
One of the goals of the next GNU Classpath release is to have that work out of the box without such tricks.

Many Thanks for this remark.
I'm an avid JEdit user and under BSD, due to licenses, it's not easy to install java.
So can't wait to run Jedit with classpath ``natively".
p.s.
Strange that the pkgsrc, netbsd, has 0.12 and the freebsd ports has 0.17.
0.12 is a bit old...!

Keep on dreaming pal. I have created an optical simulator (DWDM networksd with dynamic traffic) and works fine on FreeBSD with classpath ( I do not use sun-java there ).
It is about 22000 lines of code and I would never have made it without java and without classpath on Freebsd.
Have you ever checked embedded development?
