Hello,

I believe gcj is now one of the usable Java implementation,
however there are some small (but tedious) issues must be solved to 
check in to FBSD ports cvs repo.
I made some ports or updates of ports so that we can at least compile a
package using Java; OpenOffice.org. I believe with appropreate wrapper,
we can add gnugcj as _JAVA_VENDOR_LIST in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.java.mk.
then we can use/comple Java applications without bootstrapping java/jdk14
etc.

You can download ports skeleton at:
ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/misc/gcj+ooo.20060310.tar.bz2
gcj+ooo.20060310.tar.bz2 : md5sum  7d4c2aedb775b5058765b40e5c6ed378  

Install instruction:
1. gmake-devel ... workaround for installation of gcc41
2. gcc41-with_gcj ... build gcc with gcj
3. gjdoc ... javadoc alternative 
4. openoffice.org-2.0-devel make with option -DWITH_GNUGCJ

Comments are welcome.
thanks,
