These screenshots should include:

  1. GCJ running a complex application like Eclipse/JOnAS
  with "proof" (like the VM vendor/version in an Eclipse
  message window). I vaguely remember that Mark had posted
  something quite like this to Planet Classpath some time
  back.

  2. All sorts of AWT/Swing widgets implemented by GNU
  Classpath and that work with GCJ. This would be something
  similar to what David Gilbert posted recently to his blog.

  3. Java2D/Graphics2D implementation status. Something like
  what Graydon Hoare and Roman Kennke used to post on their
  blogs.

  4. Java3D/OpenGL support status - something like what
  Anthony Green had posted to his blog some time back.

  5. Anything else that shows off what is possible using GCJ.

If anyone has appropriate screenshots (640x480, 800x600 or
1024x768 PNG images) that they are willing to share, we can
have a gallery section displaying them.

My 2p.

Ranjit.
