Yes. JCE is completely useless with v0.8. I just recently fixed it...

I'm currently working on v0.9 but can't say anything definite. But I 
expect it to be released in November.

Depends... If you consider importing GNU classpath into GCJ and 
recrosscompile GCJ, then yes.
If you need it really urgent, we might organize something... Send me a 
private mail...
