Yes there is. Look at the man page for javac (1.2)
< http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html >

They have multiple options to configure which sources and classes to use
during compilation.

    -classpath to set the user classpath (but not the standard classes)
    -bootclasspath to set the standard library classes
    -extdirs to specify a different directory for finding the standard
    exttension classes
    -sourcepath to specify where to find the java source files to compile

There is even an -Xverbosepath option that shows how the classes/sources
where searched for.

It might be a good idea to make a wrapper for gcj which takes the same
arguments as the javac tool.

Cheers,

Mark
