Dear java@gcc.gnu.org list,

I've gotten to compile some things with GCJ (hooray!) which don't run
fine (ooooh). If I don't come to run it on my own, I'll certainly file a
bug report or contact this list.

I would like to avoid having to distribute a Java runtime to users, but
my teammate is writing code in Java 1.7. I read GCJ only understands 1.5.

Is there any development going on for Java 1.7? Would it be a lot of
work to implement some Java 1.7 features? I would take it on me if needed.

There were two things I noticed with my teammates code that were using
1.7 features. @Override on interfaces and multi exception catch (like
catch (IOException | OtherException e) ).

I'd love to implement these.

Ruben
