RE: [platform-core-dev] GCJ/GIJ Support in Core Runtime

To the best of my knowledge it works OK as an experiment on Eclipse 2.
http://people.redhat.com/jhealy/eclipse/
http://klomp.org/mark/gij_eclipse/
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7413
There is even a project that supports GCJ as a builder:
http://gcjbuilder.sourceforge.net/

But the runtime is so much better today  ;-))  that I am not sure you
would win much!
