Yes, I've looked at gcj before. Unfortunately it does not have a working
version for m68k-amigaos, so I would have to port it. It's really not worth
the effort. There really are very few working Linux tools available on the
Amiga. Many applications like gdb, gcj, etc won't compile and have to be
ported before you can use them. My video hardware is not supported by
m68k-Linux, so I can't run X, for example.

Meantime, I have written my own "ClassDump" in C. It means I don't have to
have a known-good JVM to run the diagnostic tools on. Its output looks
strangely like that of gcj ;-).

Thanks for the advice, Mark.

cheers
