Then compile each .jar to a .so (with -findirect-dispatch) and add each to the database. Finally, tell gij about this database when running. This requires no application changes; it is how we have compiled eclipse, jonas, derby, etc. Here's an overview on how to set this up: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/How%20to%20BC%20compile%20with%20GCJ We should probably move this discussion to fedora-devel-java-list... Internally we've talked a bit about things like having a default systemwide .db (so no special 'gij' invocation needed) and having boilerplate scripts (or rpm macros) to compile .jars and load them into a .db.
