As dkharrat pointed out, you can use the Avian VM with the OpenJDK class library instead of the much more limited default library. However, there's no support for JVMTI, and not everything in the OpenJDK library will work with every combination of platforms and build options.

Not entirely sure, but according to its github page[1], you can have it use the OpenJDK classes for a "conventional JVM".
