Is there any way to let Jikes RVM run Java applications with GUI?

Question

From its website, I read confusing statements.

ref: "... Swing and AWT coverage is particularly incomplete. ..."

ref: "The Jikes RVM uses the Classpath libraries, and supports features such as AWT and Swing GUI tool kits from it."

Anyway, I found that I couldn't not run any applications with GUI. Is there any solution to circumvent this issue?

The Jikes RVM requires the GNU Classpath library in its -classpath in order to provide (incomplete) support for AWT and Swing.

Jikes RVM only run the class files. How does `javac` help here? – JackWM Jul 29 '13 at 01:42
Poor wording on my part; more above. – trashgod Jul 29 '13 at 07:57
