I'm not sure I would even go that far. From http://gcc.gnu.org/java/: "It has been merged with GNU Classpath and supports most of the 1.4 libraries plus some 1.5 additions." which means even they don't claim it is fully compatible with 1.4, let alone 1.5. I guess the documentation should be clear that it requires a JDK certified to be compatible with J2SE 5.0. That doesn't necessarily mean the Sun JDK - Apple, BEA, IBM all deliver certified JDKs across a variety of platforms. But not GNU. Thankfully with the open sourcing of the Sun JDK, we should start seeing distributions migrating away from supplying GNU by default ;) G This email has been scanned by Postini.
