That's a good question. I haven't really looked too deeply into these things. gcj is a problem child for things like JDWP, JVMPI, etc -- they seem to be pretty hard to implement given our model :-(. It might still be interesting to try, or to write classes that handle the protocol (e.g., we could write subclasses that use gdb to drive libgcj, or some insane thing like that). There are a couple other areas we can all cooperate in. One we already do -- we have a (more-or-less) shared jni.h. Another area is the bytecode verifier. The libgcj verifier can be made to work with non-libgcj VMs fairly easily (I've already got a patch to make it work inside gcj itself, a very different environment). It isn't perfect (still a known bug or two) and it is written in C++, but it might still be suitable for many projects. I'm definitely interested in helping out projects that want to do this.
