On the topic of java spells, has anyone looked at building them with
gcj? Just the other day I ran across http://sources.redhat.com/rhug/,
a collection of java packages built with gcj. It's java compiled with
gcj, Xalan/Xerces, Ant, JUnit, Jakarta, and some other stuff. So it is
doable.

There is also some work on Eclipse and related stuff with gcj:
http://klomp.org/mark/gij_eclipse/
http://sources.redhat.com/eclipse/
http://swingwt.sourceforge.net/, this sounds quite neat, Swing
implemented on SWT from Eclipse.

I just figured that I'd throw the idea out here, since doing something
like that could solve part of the problem with java (from the
sourcemage perspective) quite neatly, plus it'd be way cool ;-)

PS: The rhug faq talks about an unreleased version of gcj, off the 3.3
branch, but we're already at 3.3.2, so maybe it's out of date?
