Yes. When you compile your Java code to a .so, the executable code is
shared among all the processes that use it. This is an important
benefit of gcj.

We have RPMs for it. When they will be released, and what product
they'll be put in, is still under discussion.
Currently we don't compile Eclipse with gcj. I've been looking at
that a bit lately, but I don't have anything to report yet. It is
pretty complex. Currently it looks like we'll need to modify Eclipse
to make it fully work.
