I look forward to seeing it. If you want help post what you did to a
JIRA and mark it as experimental then we can see what is left to do.

It's not just GPLv2 + Classpath exception, you missed another exception
that Sun applied to the code:
The Assembly Exception
(http://openjdk.java.net/legal/assembly-exception.html)
where Sun's definition of a Designated Exception Module
(http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html)
includes code they take in under other open source licenses (see
paragraph 4).
This is not your father's GPLv2.
