Dear all,

AFAIK, GCJ has been dead for _years_...  quoting 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCJ>: "As of GCC 7, the GCC Java frontend and 
associated libjava runtime library have been removed from GCC. The information 
on this page is kept here for reference but only applies to GCC 6 and earlier."

... yet we still have at least...

67 bugs open against the component "awt":  
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=awt

... and at least...

479 bugs open against the product "classpath":  
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&product=classpath



For discussion: why not close _all_ Java-related bugs in the GCC bugzilla, 
perhaps with a nicely-granular status such as 
"CLOSED_WONTFIX___WONTFIX_BECAUSE_FEATURE_IS_DEPRECATED", or at least "good" 
old "CLOSED_WONTFIX"?



With all due respect to whoever [if anybody] is unhappily still responsible for 
backporting bug-fixes to pre-7 GCC re e.g. the C or C++ or Fortran compiler[s], 
I think the chances of _anybody_ *ever* fixing those old Java-in-GCC bugs is 
_extremely_ tiny.

Sincerely,

Abe
