I've explained this in private mail, but for the benefit of others:

	The kaffe package installs its own javac shell script into
	/usr/local/bin .

	You probably had /usr/local/bin in your PATH envar already.

	You probably added /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin to the _end_ of
	your PATH envar.

	When the shell searched your PATH for javac, it found kaffe's
	shell script in /usr/local/bin instead of the jdk's binary in
	/usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin .

Ciao,
Sheldon.
