cross compile Java/AWT to XScale / Windows Mobile ?

["John R. Broderick" <jjbroderick at gmail dot com>]

I work for a large organization that is primarily a Java shop. We have
several AWT applications deployed on ARM powered Windows CE devices running
a PersonalJava JVM. We are upgrading to XScale powered Windows Mobile
devices and need to make a decision on a JVM for some new applications, as
well as for running the existing apps.

I'm looking at gcj as one of our choices, given that it could save us >
$20,000 annually in JVM licensing fees.

I've spent a good part of the last 48 hours surveying the gcc cross
compiling and gcj newsgroups, but there doesn't seem to be much information
regarding cross compiling to a windows ce / pocket pc / windows mobile
environment.

Can anybody give me:
Their opinion regarding whether GNU classpath / gcj is capable of cross
compiling to my target environment ? [ XScale PXA - 255 running Windows
Mobile 2003 ] - I know that the arm-windowsce-pe target exists, but I don't
know if AWT apps will work.
Their opinion whether the project is stable enough right now that they would
recommend it themselves for production applications ?

Without much tuning, I did try mysaifu with one of our apps on the newer
device and it promptly ran out of memory. I adjusted the heap size between 1
MB and 4 MB and it didn't seem to affect the outcome. 

Thanks ahead of time for any help. 

John
