The main gcc is just for c:

The other gcc packages are addon packages. Here is the objective C one.

I've not used the java one, but I know the c++ and objc addons are fine.

Note you need to install cpp as well.  And, if you don't have a newer
binutils, you will need that (see address below for link)

Concerning your comments about instructions, I have to confess I agree. 
I've done my best to explain some of this here:
