[linux-distros-dev] Native eclipse / gcj-compiled

[Thomas Koch <thkoch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are sites on the net about a "native eclipse" project, e.g. eclipse 
compiled to machine-code. All the sites are from 2004/2005 and about a 
project done by Red Hat.

Is somebody still working on this project? For the moment I consider Eclipse 
unusable on a 2GHz, 1.5 GB Debian machine as it is too slow. (Yes I'm using 
SUN-Java.)

Wouldn't it become much faster if it would be compiled? Is there a How-to for 
compiling my own eclipse from source with gcj?

Best regards,
