I am not familiar with guavac but there are three others.  Kaffe,
blackdown.org and IBM.  You can find Kaffe from TransVirtual (?), Blackdown
is at www.blackdown.org and the IBM compiler (alpha version) is at their
alphaworks site (http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/linuxjvm).  Blackdown
is a Java 2 release (beta) and IBM is a 1.6 release.

All that is Microsoft does not glitter,           
Not all those who wander are lost;                 
The old AT&T Unix that is strong does not wither, 
Deep roots are not reached by frost.              

From the ashes of Spec1170 a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;            
Renewed shall be the Unix OS that was broken,     
Linux shall be king.
