With GCJ, you can compile Java -> Applications <- (with a main() method) 
to an executable. You can't compile an applet to an application, because 
you need some sort of appletviewer for an applet. But if you've already 
an applet, then it won't be hard to change it to an AWT application...

Aditionally you can run bytecode (for example compiled with a sun jdk 
1.5) with gij.

You might want to use a GUI frontend for GCJ: http://javaCompiler.sf.net

And finally: You're on the wrong mailinglist buddy. There's a java 
relatet list. See http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html
