I did stumble upon gcj and am considering it. My main concern is for the algorithms and utilities (not stand alone apps) that I want my customers to integrate into their applications. It seems that if I use GCJ (and CNI) to expose my java functionality as a C API in .DLLs (.so etc) rather than static .o, .lib etc. my customers should not have a problems calling them from their non-gcc compiled parent applications.

[snip] This isn't necessarily so. gcj (GCC's java frontend) can generate target-specific binaries, executables, shared libraries, and static libraries.
