All FC4 Java packages, including the SDK wrapper package for GCJ, will
be JPackage-compatible.  As I understand it, the parts of OpenOffice
that can be built with GCJ will be.  However there are some parts of
OOo's Java code that rely on Sun-private interfaces -- these present a
dead end for GCJ, so we'll need to get them reimplemented (using public
APIs) upstream.
