To my defense I must say that I did the demo on a Debian system. But indeed I build the whole thing on a Red Hat (9) system with a patched gcj-ssa. The rpms were converted to debs for the demo though since I didn't want to put a non-Debian system on my laptop. Hopefully the gcj 3.4 release will be able to run Eclipse interpreted through gij out of the box (that is not very fast, but not as slow as you would think). That doesn't solve the build issue though. It is a bit frustrating that we have all this working with CVS versions and special branches of the various projects. I understand perfectly well that you cannot package such a hodgepodge for Debian. Hope you weren't offended by my teasing that Red Hat gets it, but Debian doesn't. They do take a couple of short cuts at the moment which aren't appropriate in the long run, especially not for Debian. Cheers, Mark
