This is an interesting thread, related to the future (and/or current state) of gcj:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2009-02/msg00004.html Which is not to say that cygwin's gcc distribution shouldn't include it, or ensure that it works as well as possible, but it may explain why some distros are packaging it separately (that is, building it from a separate source from the rest of gcc-same-version). OTOH, Debian has been doing it that way since 4.1.0 (2 Mar 2006), long before OpenJDK was actually open [*], so perhaps they have another reason. They do it that way for Ada, too. -- Chuck [*] Sun's announcement of a forth-coming GPLed JDK: Nov 2006.
