I just want to learn basic Java programming. That means it would be enough to
have support for non-gui applications. But I want the package with the most
compatibility to the official implementation. The compiler should be easy to
use and most important compatible. I should allow JIT and compilations to
machine code.

So it will be not in GCC 3.1?
