The main problem is that the database, ZODB, has quite a bit of C in it, 
and so it can't be directly accessed from Jython. There was a bit of 
discussion on this in the Zope list  a couple of years ago, and 
unfortunately the consensus seemed to be negative on Java compatability. If 
you take a browse through the archives you'll probably come across the 
technical reasons for this.

Wish I could be more positive, I'ld also love to run Zope through Jython.
