No, it damages the credibility of java for everyone if a java runtime
won't execute a java package correctly, yet is still executed as "java".

Do you have time to find out? I don't know what is missing in gcj.
OpenNMS used to need a working jni interface to be able to build icmp
packets and to link to rrd libraries if you use them (there is now a
pure java jrobin replacement).
