Java compilers don't tend to optimise, and it's not really gcj that's compiling at all when you do source->bytecode, it's ecj (the Eclipse compiler) invoked by gcj i.e. if the quality is worse, then so is all code compiled by Eclipse ;-) The GCJ compilation bit comes in when you do bytecode to native compilation, which, as I recall, you do afterwards anyway. > -- > java-devel mailing list > java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
