It is unofficially in official Java.  I believe you just have to
invoke GJMain instead of Main in the com.sun.tools.javac package:

% java com.sun.tools.javac.GJMain <filename>.java 

I belive this is only available in the 1.3 JDK and later...  The
rumors I've heard is that the code is just the GJ reference
implementation that's been available separately for a while now.
