Well, yes, that's what comes of becoming attached to proprietary

class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {    
        System.out.println("Hello World!");     
    }
}

@ashland [~/tmp] $ gcj-3.0 --main=HelloWorld HelloWorld.java 
@ashland [~/tmp] $ ./a.out 
Hello World!

It's pretty easy, and it's free software!
