After playing with it some more ...
Jikes just needs the additional classpath for the swing jar but kaffee
needs to also have the current directory.
$export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/opt/swing/-1.1.1cfc/swingall.jar
That CLASSPATH will add the swing set and keep both jikes and kaffe
functional. Note kaffe is working with the jar file. I haven't had
any problems with that.
Using even the most basic swing components does cause stack overflows as
pointed out. Therefore the kaffe jvm needs a bigger minimum stack
space. I am not sure of the syntax, but this seemed to work:
$java -ss4mb MyClass
Is there a way to integrate swing so that it is available transparent
to users? There seem to be lots of configuration files availabe with
the java-common, java-compiler, and java-virtual-machine. Of course,
at this point it is not so much a debian/Alpha issue and more of me
just learing how to tweak the debian scripts.

Why do you say that?
