I can't speak for the team, but I feel that if GCJ doesn't improve the speed by more than 15-20% on amd64/i386 it's probably not worth the trouble. > I have no experience with packaging Java, but I do have experience with > creating a package with Debhelper for a C++ tool. Any pointers to > examples for gcj-packaging JPF would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I have never used GCJ for a new packages so I can't really help, but I suggest looking at the few packages depending on gcj-native-helper (ant, libitext-java and hsqldb1.8.0 for example).
