I am glad you realized this. I was going to mention to the FC guys that,
for example, kaffe has talked about supporting aot. If you have kaffe,
you don't necessary need/want to use gcj.

With the integration into rpm, would it be possible to produce the gcj
support as a separate package such that upgrades from JPackage to not
trump it. All we need for this to work is to make sure we don't have any
%{version}-%{release} requirements in JPackage and instead stick to
%{version}. At least using this method release updates could be
accomplished. I don't know enough about the situation of differing
versions at this time.
