Because gcj (the GNU compiler for Java), which is the only implementation of Java that comes with FC4, is not yet fully implemented. Most importantly, it does not fully implement either AWT or Swing - the graphical user interface systems which most graphical Java applications use. However, the Java apps and libraries shipped as part of FC4 (eclipse, ant, xerces etc.) should work fine on the gcj platform. Please file bugs if they do not. This should be documented somewhere. -- Robin
