The native eclipse effort was made to get GCJ to comparable speed
compared to SUN JDK. Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian Eclipse support this out
of the box. On Debian and Ubuntu you should install the eclipse-gcj
package and make sure you use java-gcj-compat as runtime. I dont know
how this works on Fedora.
