Today I gave Derby a quick
try using gcj. I followed the
same basic approach as I used when compiling Eclipse.

That is, I compiled all the jar files with
-findirect-dispatch, stuck them in a libgcj class mapping
database, and ran gij using the compiled shared
libraries. This all compiled without trouble and the command-line
interpreter started without problems.

I haven’t done much testing, mostly since I don’t know much about
Derby and only had a short amount of time to play with it. Still,
looks like another easy success for gcj.

Wish lists

I updated my Eclipse wish
list a little.
