Hello,

I have got a question considering the further development of the gcj
frontend.
Are you planning to extend the gcj library with the innovations until java
1.7?
Furthermore how is the roadmap for the gcj frontend in general?
Or are there no plans for further improvements of the gcj frontend?

Thank you very much

Regards Georg

We'd like to, but help is in short supply.  The biggest issue is
the library, not the front end.  We'd need to import the latest
OpenJDK library and rework much of the existing library to work
with it.  This is a big task, perhaps a programmer-year or so.

Andrew.
