Tom Fitzsimmons and I (okay, it was mostly Tom ;) worked out how to have a set of alternatives for java, javac, etc. that can use a non-system gcc installation. This will allow you to easily run our Eclipse packages (among others) using your gcc builds.

Do you then run java-1.4.2-gcjHEAD-compat in parallel with the stock java-1.4.2-gcj-compat? I would assume so, since eclipse packages require the stock package. This means that installation should be forced due to file conflicts, right?
During the latest rawhide update I noticed some eclipse packages failed to upgrade properly (i.e. I had both version M6.15 and M6.16 installed). I didn't look into it closely, but could this be a result of having both java-1.4.2-gcj-compat and java-1.4.2-gcjHEAD-compat installed?
Yeah, probably. Some of the files are shared between the two. I guess people trying this will just have to be careful when updating.
