I am excited to hear gcj works for you.  When gcc-3.0 is released, do
you expect that the average swarm user will be able to go into a java
swarm program directory and type some "braindead" line like
  
  gcj --main=ObserverSwarm -o ObserverSwarm *.java

?
 
I agree about the RedHat guys too. I get awesome response from the gcc
people about bug reports (usually end up being bugs in programs I'm
trying to compile that old gcc ignored).
