New GCJ manual

[Nic Ferrier]

I've attached the source of of the GCJ manual with my hacked in CNI
details. Note this is not a patch, it's easier to ditribute the whole
source!

Here are some specific questions I have about it:


section Class initializtion:

"Accessing a static field also requires the class of the
field to be initialized.  The Java compiler will generate code
to call @code{_Jv_InitClass} ..."

should this be: Jv_InitClass ?



section Exceptions:

"Note that currently you cannot mix C++ catches and Java catches in
a single C++ translation unit.  We do intend to fix this eventually."

Is this true? Have we already fixed it?



section reflection:

Is pretty skimpy. I imagine we've done all these things. If someone
who worked on reflection wants to drop me a line about how things work
I'll info-ize the email.

Alternately I'll get information from a Sun JNI manual.



Sorry to those of you not interested in the manual.


Nic
