All rights reserved. This is expected behaviour. The Eclipse compiler has certain advantages over gcj's current bytecode compilation support. For instance, it does recursive compilation of referenced java sources, which many people rely on. The gcj bytecode compiler is currently being rewritten to support missing features, including new Java 1.5 language features (just web search for gcjx) - but it will be some time before it's ready for mainstream usage. The Eclipse compiler has proven to be fast and high quality, and we have to ship in anyways as part of the Eclipse IDE. You can still use "gcj -C" if you really want to use gcj for .java to .class compilation. AG
