http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/inetlib-1.1.tar.gz

You don't need Cyrus SASL, just the javax.security.sasl classes. If  
you're using GNU Classpath these classes are included, so you can use  
--with-sasl=/path/to/glibj.zip --with-auth-callback=/path/to/glibj.zip

With other Java class libraries it can be complicated and depends on  
which version you use. I'll try and have a look at this and write up  
some documentation about it.

If you want just the binaries (jars), these are packaged by 3rd  
parties, e.g. Debian libgnuinet-java and jpackage.org.
