The debianised blackdown jdk. It's still at a version 1+ years old and
multiple releases have seen the light of day.

If you include the entire set of java(x) libraries in your definition of
java2-runtime it is probaly quite far away.
I remember seeing a list of java-classes used by OpenOffice and
currently not implemented in a free version. Even discounting the
sun-classes it was depressingly long. But a lot can happen in less than
two months I guess.
IIRC it originated from a post to the kaffe-ml. They might know more about
its current status.
