Just for the record, these days gcj only reads Java bytecode.  Parsing
of .java file is outsourced to the Eclipse compiler.  All bytecode is
supported; typical issues when using gcj involve classes missing from
the standard class library.

That said, if I were doing static analysis of Java, I would not try to
use gcj.  It is simpler to either put code into an existing compiler
(Eclipse or the JDK's), or to use one of the existing analysis
frameworks (FindBugs, or roll your own with ASM).
