[fedora-java] Netbeans 5.0-beta2 , Sun Application Server 8.1 and Java-gcj

[Fernando Lozano]

Hi John,

You won't, because the GCJ packages included with Fedora is not yet a 
fully-compliant Java2 implementation. Most Swing applications won't work 
at all. I don't know if Sun AS 8.1 would work with GCJ but I'd guess it 
won't. Anyway Sun software expects to find a Sun Java SDK, not a 
GCJ-based one, and so their install scripts and startup scripts won't 
work without some tweaking.

Tomcat should work fine with GCJ (but not without some configuration 
hacking) and JonAS seem to work for EJB support.
