Yes, any pre-0.95 version of Classpath should be OK to bootstrap a
later version of Classpath using ecj.  JamVM 1.5.1 is compatible with
0.92 and 0.93 which can be used for this purpose (there was no 0.94).
I use GNU Classpath-0.92, as this is one I have available locally...

When later versions of JamVM breaks compatibility with 0.92/0.93,
you'll also have to download and build an older version to do the
bootstrap (or any other compatible VM).

It might be useful to have a list somewhere of GNU Classpath versions
and a list of which VM/versions are compatible with it!

Thanks,
Rob.
