Thank you Andrew.
This is interesting. Does the OpenJDK allow native compilation?
No.
But it would be possible with (relatively) less work. I have written a
Java source code to Eiffel source code compiler using the OpenJDK
classes for the standard library. I have mapped all Java language
constructs and implemented the runtime far enough so that simple SWT
applications can be compiled (kind of "proof of concept").
There is a good chance that I can find someone continuing the work on
it the next half year. I'm hoping that it will then be usable with
real applications and also for Linux/Mac.

Thanks, Marco, that's an interesting use of the OpenJDK class library.
