Eek, -1. It typically builds fine with gcj for us here. Granted theres a
quick or two at run-time (two bug with patches submitted to our gcc/gcj
guys) with some swing using extensions (The google doc extension is
afflicted by this).

I think we could/should get rid of that aot stuff, we probably don't
need to support that anymore, it was a desperate hack back in the day to
try and cut a few hours out of the helpcontent building thing before we
converted the java bit to c++, though some java stuff got stuck back up
on it afterwards again.
