Well really it's not the app job to be adapted to gcj but gcj's one to appear just like another jvm. We have a large cross-jvm rpm repository where people can use any of Sun/IBM/Bea/Blackdown 1.3/1.4 jvms, but sadly there is not gcj jvm provider right now.
This may be OT for fedora-devel, but there will be rhug/native eclipse/gcj people who may be able to comment.
I'm wondering how hard it would be to provide a jpackage/fedora functional (to a point) libgcj/gnu classpath system. I've seen the posts on the sources.redhat.com/eclipse/ archives about how to massage gcj into acting as a standard java executable for eclipse.
Theoretically it should be feasible to interoperate. I assume taroon/RHES is going to be fairly java/gcj centric so fedora providing an environment to trial gcj interoperability in.
