See gcjwebplugin:  http://www.nongnu.org/gcjwebplugin/

The big problem with this today is that gcj has known problems with its
sandbox security implementation.  We need to fix those problems and do a
full audit of libgcj before it makes sense to package gcjwebplugin.

I'm not fully aware of SELinux's capabilities yet, but I wonder if it's
possible to sandbox our current libgcj for gcjwebplugin by writing
strict SELinux policy.  Does anybody know?
