We've merged the gcj-eclipse branch to svn trunk. The merge changes
gcj to use the Eclipse compiler as a front end, enabling all 1.5
language features. This merge also brings in a new, generics-enabled
version of Classpath, including some new tools. This new code will
appear in GCC 4.3.

RMS approved the plan to use the Eclipse compiler as the new gcj front
end. Work is being done on the gcj-eclipse branch; it can already
build libgcj. This project will allow us to ship a 1.5 compiler in the
relatively near future. The old gcjx branch and project is now dead.
