The big one is that it can't inherited from an public inner class.
I filed a bug report PR-5758.
(should have check the DB more closly PR-5632 seems to be the same issue)
There are some smaller issues too,
I will make test cases and file them too.

Hmm,
of course but freenet works on JDK/Jikes/Kaffe.
When I hack the code to get it to compile with gcj
it doesn't work as good. Neither does a binary compiled
from JDK generated .class files.
Could be my fault, 
could be subtle falut in the freenet code,
could be gcj/libgcj bug.
