This is great news!

As for the --classpath thing: SableVM uses a Java class loader to load 
application classes.  More precisely, the starting point is the 
java.lang.VirtualMachine class which indirectly invokes the system class loader. 
  The system class loader is the gnu.java.lang.SystemClassLoader class.

It is often useful to print debug messages to identify problems, yet, in the 
VM's class library, invoking System.out.println() has MANY side effects, by 
potentially changing dramatically the flow of control (due to all the class 
loading and initialization it causes).

For this reason, you will find very convenient "print" methods in the 
java.lang.VirtualMachine class.  If you need them for debugging code in other 
packages (e.g. java.io.*), you will need to temporarily make the VirtualMachine 
class "public".

Have fun!
