Provided it does not have any dependencies on core classes which gcj
does not provide (including sun.* and com.sun.* classes, which many
projects seem to use), it will work fine.

You can either use the jar directly with gij, or you can compile it
with gcj.  The manual ought to cover both of these cases.

I believe we've been using jacorb, compiled with gcj, as part of our
jonas build.  In fact I think it is in Fedora Core (rawhide maybe, I
forget).
