Comment:
The port clearly states:
''The GNU compiler collection, including front ends for C, C++,
Objective-C and Objective-C++. This is a prerelease BETA version and does
not have all available language front ends enabled.''
The point is, that the Java stuff tends to[[BR]]
* fail often to compile in the beta[[BR]]
* take looooong time to build
Therefore I've omitted it from the beta (I'm only comitting snapshots that
compile here on my machine, on {{{10.5/x86}}}).
We could bring in Java support but then the updates will get sparse (as
snapshots often fail to build Java); as I'm not into {{{gcj}}} perhaps
someone else should then take over maintainership.[[BR]]
Plan B would be a {{{java}}} variant (like the gfortran variant) that
enables Java -- of course without guarantee to build (for the beta).
