When talking to the developers of FDS yesterday We may hit a snag. the java bits. still need suns java. Red Hat's Java team have made them build with gcj but they don't run 100% yet with it.
I'm pretty sure Tom Fitzsimmons told me that things do indeed work. Tom?
I'm not sure what is meant by "100%" here. There is an issue with the console script that causes gij to OOM on startup:

Once that problem is fixed (early this year, according to the bug report), the tools will run well -- I did some smoke testing just before FC-6 was released.
If there are other issues running FDS on GCJ, please file them in Red Hat Bugzilla against the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat component.
