Alas, no Swing as of yet (so far it explicitly throws an error with the
message "not implemented"), but it is a multi-threaded, networked
program that uses GNU Crypto at its core. The javax.crypto and GNU
Crypto classes, as well as gnu-getopt and JZlib, are compiled with GCJ,
but the application itself compiled to bytecode. Even with this it is
still comparable in speed to the program run with Blackdown-1.3.

And, thusfar the only impediment to a fully ahead-of-time compiled
executable is the absence of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
