Hi Jens,
You are using Debian, aren't you?
I recently used gcj and gij for the first time and am very interested in this project. However I find it very difficult to use it in eclipse (and probably any other IDE) as a Standard-VM. It's required to compile gcc and make various changes to get it working. I'm still having problems, but this is not the topic of this thread.
You can install gcj from the Debian package:
$ dpkg -l gcj gij
ii gcj 3.3.2-2 The GNU Java compiler ii gij 3.3.2-2 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter
Of course everything would be significantly easier, if gij/gcj would provide a similar installation, like the J2SDK does. This means a packed file for different platforms you can simply extract somewhere and you are ready to run. By using the same/similar directory structure and file names, you could use gcj/gij very easy in existing IDEs.
1° Maybe it's more a distro thing;
2° About Debian, you can maybe join the debian-java mailing list and ask for this ('gcj, gij have a J2SDK like tree structure'), I think some people will be interresting. We probably post something related to this in less than a month ;-)
3° Also, gcj does provide a lot of tools but not all (gjdoc is not a part of gcj AFAIK).
