This is happening (or has already). The code has been written by one of the GCC GSoC students (now at Oracle) Dalibor Topic: "Integrating OpenJDK's javac bytecode compiler into gcj " https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2007-gcc/downloads/detail?n= ame=3DDalibor_Topic.tar.gz&can=3D2&q=3D Someone integrating that into mainline would be welcome I think.
