gcj is supposed to come with a working jni implementation and comes with
gij (GNU Interpreter for Java) for interpreting bytecode. What exactly
doesn't work with gcj? Could you please file a bug report?

That way we at least know about the issue.

Also Kaffe, Kissme and SableVM (all part of Debian now) should be able
to run java byte code and jni code.
