Would it be acceptable to backport gcj4?
There was a post on this list recently, pointing at DCCA-specific
issues (build environment change due to a new libggc1), but I don't
think that's a problem for bpo.
I had tried to recompile it a few months ago, but it made OOo crash -
so maybe you mean there are technical issues?

Can you tell why this is contrib? It is surprising:
"2006-03-08: 2.0.2-1 uploaded; help finally in main again [...]"
(openoffice.debian.org)
