$ cat hello.java
public class hello
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
    {
     System.out.println("Double.MIN_VALUE = " + Double.MIN_VALUE 
             + "  " + Double.doubleToLongBits(Double.MIN_VALUE));
     System.out.println("Double.MAX_VALUE = " + Double.MAX_VALUE 
             + "  " + Double.doubleToLongBits(Double.MAX_VALUE));
    }
}

$ gcj --encoding=UTF-8 -o hello hello.java --main=hello
$ ./hello
Double.MIN_VALUE = 0.0  0
Double.MAX_VALUE = 5.0E-324  1


on Linux in contrast:
Double.MIN_VALUE = 5.0E-324  1
Double.MAX_VALUE = 1.7976931348623157E308  9218868437227405311

Hope that helps,
Martin.
