What are the differences between the two .so files installed with
Java-Gnome?  libgtkjava2.4.so libgtkjar2.4.so?

The former is our C library used by jni, you need it in your
LD_LIBRAY_PATH for the java interpreter (or gcj compiler) to find it.

The latter is the native gcj compiled java code which makes our
alternative ABI (same API), it is used by gcj _compiler_ to compile your
java classes as native code (i.e. shared libraries or ELF executables),
so you can have a native unix executable without using any interpreter.

Hope I was clear, please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Absolutely right.

If you're not interested in native gcj compilation (the jar.so file), you can
disable building and installing it with a flag to ./configure. Off the top of
my head, this is --without-gcj-compile, but please check rather than taking my
word for it.

We really must write a HintsAndTips page about gcj native compilation. I've
never really used it though - can somebody more experienced with it please have
a go at writing the page please.

I'm pretty close to being at that point - I'll write a GCJ section in a
few days.

See my next email it will indirectly have a lot of GCJ material in it.
