Tom Tromey has suggested that the Eclipse Java compiler ("ecj") be used as the Java front-end by the GNU Compiler Collection. He points out that ecj is fully Java 1.5-compliant, is tested against the TCK, has some 1.6 improvements, and is better and more complete than the existing gcj front-end and Tromey's own gcjx front-end.
