Renne. I suggest that you look at the java upgrade guide and also at |
| 16 |

Basically as a summary. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
the new java system that is in the process of being rolled out (plan is to |
| 22 |
only have it in ~arch for 1 more week). This system will allow a user (such |
| 23 |
as yourself) to choose the jdk they would like to build their java packages. |
| 24 |
This includes selecting GCJ as you jdk. So hopefully and eventually once GCJ |
| 25 |
becomes stable enough the whole process of compiling java to machine code |
| 26 |
will be in the stable tree. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Therefore. a use flag isn't needed :) in fact the java team is in the |
| 29 |
process of removing the jikes use flag for this very reason |
