    We've merged the gcj-eclipse branch to svn trunk. The merge
    changes gcj to use the Eclipse compiler as a front end, enabling
    all 1.5 language features. This merge also brings in a new,
    generics-enabled version of Classpath, including some new
    tools. This new code will appear in GCC 4.3.
