One of the main purposes of Leyden is to develop a statically-compiled
specification for Java; and OpenJDK is the reference implementation of
Java. By all means look at something else as an alternative, but it
won't solve that problem, and may only be a distraction. I do not
intend to discuss legal issues here.
