Compiling Java with GCJ (Linux Journal)

Per Bothner talks about GCJ on Linux Journal. "One reason relatively few projects use Java has been the real or perceived lack of quality, free implementations of Java. Two free Java implementations, however, have been around since the early days of Java. One is Kaffe (www.kaffe.org), originally written by Tim Wilkinson and still developed by the company he cofounded, Transvirtual. The other is GCJ (the GNU Compiler for the Java language), which I started in 1996 at Cygnus Solutions (and which this article discusses). GCJ has been fully integrated and supported as a GCC language since GCC version 3.0."
