This was a bug in that particular release... the plugins are lying.
It really is 2.1.0-ish.

I think we've fixed this internally.  Andrew wrote a patch to tell
eclipse about gij as a java runtime.

You could probably make it work by making a tree with various
symlinks in it.  I think Mark Wielaard did that once.

Also, note that once you do get this working, you still won't be able
to debug with the JDT.  gij doesn't support JDWP, this is a known
issue.

>> 3. Any plans to support native Java compilation using gcj?

It would be nice.  I don't think anybody is working on it ATM.
We're taking patches :-)

Internally we're running 2.1.1 with CDT 1.2.0.  I'm not sure when
we'll be releasing it publicly.
