I'm not sure what is meant by "100%" here.  There is an issue with the console 
script that causes gij to OOM on startup:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183962

Once that problem is fixed (early this year, according to the bug report), the 
tools will run well -- I did some smoke testing just before FC-6 was released.

If there are other issues running FDS on GCJ, please file them in Red Hat 
Bugzilla against the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat component.
