Kaffe isn't a compliant implementation of the Java 2
Standard Edition platform, which means that unfortunately
BioJava is fairly unlikely to work correctly.

If you want to use BioJava under Linux (which I do daily),
I'd recommend downloading the JDK1.3 releases available
from either Sun, Blackdown.org, or IBM.  All of these should
work well.

Could you show me your CLASSPATH under windows?  That
looks to me like you don't have '.' on the current directory.

Remember that under Windows, CLASSPATH entries must be
separated by semicolons (';'), rather than colons (':').
