I know how frustrating this is. Building an open source project can be a real pain (especially on Windows). However, if you had asked on the ikvm-developers list, I would have been happy to help you set up an ikvm (including GNU Classpath) build environment. > here's what i've tried so far; > > used IKVM, but the -xbootclasspath option doesn't override > the existing classes. (this seems like a bug which i've posted.).

I recommend you post your bug report (possibly including your suggested fix) either here or to the ikvm-developers list, and if you ask me and if it's a small issue, I'm usually fairly quick to include the fix in my working tree and post a new ikvm snapshot that includes the fix.
