No it is not part of gcc. jdfgcj is from some strange 'not intended 
for Fedora' package, from Ark Linux. The parts of gcc (gcj etc) used 
in the jdkgcj package originate from GNU GCC.

Try
'rpm -qf `which java`'

That will tell you where the 'java' executable came from - so long as 
it was installed using the RPM. Use the name of the RPM package 
returned by the above command to remove it ' rpm -e thename' .

I think as a novice you should pay more attention to what you are 
installing. Don't you recall installing a package from Ark Linux ??
