At some point all of the GCC branches which support GCJ will be finished, so this isn't a long-term possibility. I don't even know if there are any open GCC branches with GCJ support. Having said that, I'm quite happy to accept mingw patches if there is a live branch to apply them to. -- Andrew Haley Java Platform Lead Engineer Red Hat UK Ltd.
