A myriad of library API implementations provided with a proper JRE but not supported by gcj. > I know swing is not implemeted yet but do servlets use guis? No, but they frequently use things like image codecs that aren't available with gcj. > IA64 is an entirely different beast. You can say that again. The IA64 pipeline implementors basically threw up their hands at doing the hard work of optimization and pushed it off onto the compiler (and JIT) developers - which is one of the things I get paid for. It's a nightmare to generate code for that architecture. > What do you have against gcj? If it is missing something help > implement it. It's missing quite a bit - try running the JCK against it. I see absolutely no reason to reinvent an already well-rounded wheel. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
