My main concern was with GCJ as it means lot of MBs of download when trying to build a package with javahelper. But if it is a must, as you say, I am ok with it. I will be still glad if the dependency disappeared in future. Meanwhile if I understand the functionality of jcf-dump and find a JRE independent replacement I will let you know.
