Only if the Java *code* used in OO.o is and will remain 100% really portable between GCJ and the SUN JRE, right? Can this be guaranteed? How?
the portability will remain, because i think only the Linux version can be compiled with GCJ, the Windows version is still compiled with the Microsoft Compiler. also i'm not sure if it make sense to compile the standard Linux version with GCC 4, AFAIK is not recommended to mix programs compiled with GCC 3.x and GCC 4 (and the large majority of distros are *not* compiled with GCC 4)
Note that I only want to know if, technically, my question makes sense, not to bitch again about the licensing. My _basic_ problem with Java in OO.o is not its license (although I _see_ it and other things as a problem), is with the way this relationship is presented by the developers.
i will use the Fedora version anyway, but i would like to see a performance comparison between the GCJ compiled version ant the one using Sun JRE
