I've just discovered the existence of the GCJ compiler and the GNU
Java libraries. I've configured my Eclipse to use it as default JVM
and compiler. Now I see that inside the file .jar there are different
packages than the Sun version. There're always the "standard" packages
(java, java.awt, etc) but there are also the "GNU version" (gnu.java,
gnu.awt and so on). Now, what's the difference? If I use the normal
package, am I sure that the application will work with Sun VM too?
Because if I use the gnu version the computer where I will install the
software must have the GCJ and the GNU libraries, right? Are the GNU
version of the libraries just an extension of the original ones or the
purpose is to rewrite a open version of the Java libraries?
It is meant as an open version of the Java libraries.

See <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/classpath/> and <http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/>
