GCJ is undergoing a period of intense development as a result of OOo.
This is a good thing and should we use a feature that cannot be easily
coded around within OOo I expect the GCJ community will again help us to
code these features into their implementation.  Often we push each
other.  As a direct result in the OOo upgrades I am sure that GCJ will
be able to support many more Java applications without any change.

I have heard Openoffice.org described as the gcc compiler test. The
number of breaks we find in gcc as a direct result of the size of our
code base is quite high.  I expect this trend to continue with GCJ.
