Do you have an estimate for the man-hours of modifications it took to

I don't, but that's a moot point because Fedora couldn't ship Sun Java.
I'd like to think that a lot of the work that went into GCJ aided in the
push to get Sun to open up Java so that we /could/ ship it.
Well Fedora not including Sun Java was cited as one the major reasons
why Sun choose to open source Java and specifically under GPL

As to the amount of effort that took for Eclipse to run under GCJ
