So, perhaps a valid question for my project (without the intention of starting yet another SWT vs. Swing war) is whether going with SWT instead of Swing would be beneficial when seriously considering using gij. My thought is that I should be able to compile to native without any dependencies back to Sun's Swing runtime(s). Although I would have some upfront porting issues to SWT, think it would be well worth it in the long run?

No, its not really possible to mix other JVMs and GCJ.
GCJ supports all of those platforms to varying degrees. Linux is, of
course, the best supported as thats what most of the developers are
using. Mac OS X also works well from what I've heard. Windows can be
made to somewhat work but there are some significant bugs/limitations on
this platform at this time.

My application does contain some Swing elements for the GUI, so will I need to somehow target Sun's and Apple's VMs and then gij for the compiled java? Or, is this not really possible... Also, is there a list of gij supported platforms? I hoping to target Windows, OSX, and Fedora/Redhat Linux.
