Tried that, didn't work.

First to build classpath I had to install jikes.  So it built, and then 
I went to build inetlib.

[jks@jks-desktop ~/work/gnumail/inetlib]$ nice time ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcj... no
checking for guavac... no
checking for jikes... jikes
checking if jikes works... configure: error: The Java compiler jikes 
failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

There was nothing in config.log.

So I uninstall jikes and:

[jks@jks-desktop ~/work/gnumail/inetlib]$ nice time ./configure 
--with-sasl=~/work/gnumail/classpath-0.14/lib/glibj.zip

You have no CLASSPATH, I hope it is good

jpackage.org only has an source rpm, and it wouldn't build for me.
