I did stumble upon gcj and am considering it. My main concern is for the
algorithms and utilities (not stand alone apps) that I want my customers to
integrate into their applications. It seems that if I use GCJ (and CNI) to
expose my java functionality as a C API in .DLLs (.so etc) rather than
static .o, .lib etc. my customers should not have a problems calling them
from their non-gcc compiled parent applications.
Thanks.

This isn't necessarily so. gcj (GCC's java frontend) can generate
target-specific binaries, executables, shared libraries, and
static libraries.
