The GNU Compiler for the Java Programming Language ( GCJ ) was an ahead-of-time compiler for the Java programming language and was part of the GNU Compiler Collection up to version 6 . GCJ is both a bytecode and binary code compiler. He can Java source code to Java byte code, Java byte / source code to native machine code and all Java Archive (JAR) for a variety of processor architectures compile .

GCJ does not use the class libraries from Sun , but the free Java implementation of GNU Classpath . Since this class library has not yet been fully implemented, problems can arise with some Java programs.
