It's the right one.

Gcj can be configured to generate arm code, either as a native or as a
cross compiler. This shouldn't be too hard to achieve. In order to run
application, you'll need a port of the run-time, which besides
building it with a toolchain that generates arm code, will require
some porting (GC, threading, files, signal -- I don't know what's the
minimal amount of work necessary to run Hello World.)
Here's a short discussion that took place recently on the topic of arm
support:

The Java section of gcc's website feature a short `porting the gcj
runtime' section:
