some more analysis of the problem.
looks like this bug has been introduced in gcj 4.0.1
it works correctly in gcj 3.3.3 and javac 1.4.2, ie it gives an error while
compiling. please look below, to see the messages. but gij fails to run. it
should give an compile time error message.
hope it helps.

$gcj -C --classpath .:./jms.jar B.java C.java
B.java:9: error: Class `B' must override `B.onMessage(javax.jms.Message)' with a
public method in order to implement interface `javax.jms.MessageListener'.
