Yes, all changes on java-gui-20050128-branch have been merged into HEAD.
No new work will be done on the gui branch; instead all future GUI work
will be done directly on HEAD.  If you're on FC3 you can install the
Rawhide gcc4 rpms, which track gcc CVS HEAD closely, using yum.  Just
add the development repository to your yum.conf:

[development]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/
