Do you have more specific errors? Perhaps people here are able to help dissecting the problem. FWIW, gcj won't be able to compile a swing app yet, will it? Jikes may be with the help of Java2 jars (i.e. blackdown). All in all, we probably won't see limewire in main for some time...

If you go the usual route and distribute Java bytecode in a "Architecture: all" binary package, there is no need for the autobuilders to jump in. Only if you compile to native code do we need them -- and that's probably some time off... -- Robbe
