Absolutely, it is just that, another choice. I have not tried
free-java-sdk, but as I can read in description it make a choice in
tool, and it is just a package with the same aim of java-gcj-compat.
Anyway, it has to be done a choice in building as if there are
advances on using a java compiler over using another it _should_ be
used that. But, as you noted, there are no benchmark now, on
performance. There are a number of other factor for adopt a compiler
over another of course, thus I just say it should be used and not must
I have some hardware problem now, but what I would do is just
benchmark performance of precompiled over non precompiled ecj in order
to see if there is a real gain, and ecj is an example of a real
application that probably do not need to load jar but is complex
enough to see some comparition. I would not setup a java vm war.
