Eclipse has a built in compiler called ecj and it can compile Java 1.6 code today. However, unless classes are provided at runtime for linking, one will get build errors.
It looks like ecj is going to replace the gcj java front-end compiler thereby making the 1.5 language features available to gcj. In the meantime, the classpath project is working towards adding support for all JRE classes. I'm quite optimistic that we should see a 1.5 capable gcj this year. This isn't saying much, however, about which platforms, besides Red Hat Linux, this gcj would be producing stable executables for. For example, gcj on Windows is very far behind and is getting very little development time these days.
