Re: FAQ update


Hi,

A further updated FAQ can be found at
http://www.netali.com/libgcj/libgcj/faq.htm. Further answers are needed
for the following questions.

2.6 Can I contribute code from other GPL'ed projects to supplement
libgcj's current features?

4.2 Can GCJ only handle source code?

                          The GCJ compiler will compile both java source
and bytecode .class files. For the moment support for
                          compiling bytecodes is the better option of
the two, with the source code compiler lacking support for
                          inner classes ( which are used heavily in JDK
1.1).

                          It is of interest to note that in many cases
the native code produced by compiling from source is better
                          optimised than that compiled from .class
files.

                         Has anyone anything to add here as to an
explanation?


Any takers?

Bradley
