This may be out-of-date. If the gcj in cvs fails on valid Java code

unimplemented. At least that is my impression, after Alex Petit-Bianco
has checked in support for Inner classes.

I believe Tom is now actually working on JNI.

This is now called "Forte", and Sun recently announced they would
open-source it. See http://www.sun.com/forte/tools4dotcom/opensource.html
