Yeah, this is intentional. The rundown:
gjar, gjavah -- replacements for fastjar and gcjh, which we removed.
gnative2ascii -- standard JDK program. We also have jv-convert, which
is similar but different. Ideally we'd write a JavaSrc converter
(there's a PR for this) and merge the two.
gorbd, gtnameserv -- CORBA support
grmid -- another RMI thingy. (Note that grmic and grmiregistry are
new implementations)
gserialver -- compute serialization UID, useful (standard)
development tool
We probably don't have docs for all of these :(. Looking into this is
on my to-do list but keeps getting bumped down. Matthias' recent
patch to install man pages for some of them makes me think the
situation isn't *too* bad though :)
