That indeed sounds like a lot of work. Isn't it easier to 'compile' the OpenJDK Java classes for the libgcj interface, when gcj has been ported for java 1.7, or is that impossible? > >> I guess you'll have to implement all the new 1.6 and 1.7 Java features >> to get the OpenJDK libraries to work? > Yes, but that's less of an issue. So, if implementing those new features could be done, I guess I've to start looking at the contribution guidelines. >=20 > Sure. But I don't quite understand what you want me to tell you. You'd > need to understand the problem and figure out how to fix it. I'd like to be able to deploy my application to my users without having to distribute a JRE with it (that is, for windows users). Are there any resources where I can start reading on what interfaces are to be converted to the OpenJDK interface? I could take some time in October or November trying to convert this. Another topic: Brian Jones asked if gcj was dying: > Is gcj going to be archived and removed from gcc? No one works on it > right? In the git history I can't see a lot of history. Is gcj dying indeed? Thank you for your valuable time!
