Bug#259730: gettext: Need to provide java runtime libintl.jar (fwd)

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

I've received the following report from the debian bug system.

The Debian gettext package does not currently include java stuff because
at the time I tried to include it there was a bug in gcj which made
such thing to be inviable. This is the related debian changelog entry:

  - A file called libintl.jar was supposed to be created during the build,
    but gcj is excluded as a valid Java compiler, so to ensure that the
    package is built in exactly the same way on every architecture, there
    is now a Build-Conflicts: java-compiler. Sorry.

But this was in August 2002 and we have now gcj-3.3 as the default
java compiler. Do you know whether the problem gcj had is now fixed,
or can tell me whether or not I should expect problems with gcj-3.3?
