> GCJ could do that

Was it actually any good? My only experience with it was Debian using it as default Java interpreter, which meant that any attempt to execute Java without first removing it resulted in untold amounts of suffering.



My understanding is that its main merit was to remove the need to have the non-free Sun then Oracle Jdk installed. Aparently its technical merits were not sufficient to maintaint it in a post OpenJdk world.
