To be more precise: installing the runtime for C++ compiled programs
needs the shared libraries only. A non-conflicting install of two
runtime environments is possible, because the file names of the shared
libraries differ (or are compatible). The java runtime environment
consists of the libgcj* libraries, libgcj.jar und gij. To conflict for
gij can be removed by renaming the executable, but the name of
libgcj.jar is hardcoded in the binaries. Yes, there are more conflicts
looking at the whole install, but this is the one needing a patch for
a non-conflicting install.
