I don't know, we are looking into jamvm/classpath but haven't decided on
a Java VM/class library yet. For now I would wait a while until there is
a decision if we'll be using those packages.

What would be the preferred solution here? JamVM selecting classpath
seems fine, as long as there is no alternative class library in
buildroot. So we allow selecting classpath but not JamVM? Here is a list
of projects using gnu classpath:
https://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html#jvm

But if you explicitly select the gnu classpath library then you probably
know why you want it, right?

I can send a patch changing that.
