Fwd: gcc/c++ and java

[Aamir Siddiqui <aamir at cygnus dot com>]

A question from a customer:

>>More and more development groups within Mentor are
>>starting to try to use Java, and interface Java code with their already
>>extant product code.
>>
>>We are finding that pieces of the Java environment, in particular
>>libfontmanager.s{o,l} and libjvm.s{o,l}, are linked with the hardware
>>vendor's C++ run-time library.  This, then, is requiring those groups to
>>need to rebuild their products using the hardware vendor's C++ compiler.
>>
>>Can you offer any suggestions as to alternative solutions?
>>

Thanks,
