start off
building OOo 1.9.61 with gcj/gij as java replacement.
Nice!
The crucial thing is to get the module xmlhelp built with gcj so
that
building in helpcontent2 which uses xmlhelp will produce the help files.
In xmlhelp "extends sun.net.www.protocol.file.Handler" is a problem,
hacking around it currently leads to a crash in helpcontent2.
This is application badness. Ideally they wouldn't be using this class
directly. If rewriting this code isn't an option, have a look at
gnu.gcj.protocol.file.Handler to see if it will do the job.
Minor issues are building the modified rhino module, and some odds
and
ends in the wizards and qadev modules
Check out rhug for autotooled gcj enabled rhino. There's even an RPM
spec file.

Just FYI, however, I expect rhug will go away when we all start using
GCC 4, since building and running java apps/libraries with GCC 4 will be
much easier.
