Yes, JavaCompiler is for Windows only. I'm still fighting with myself if=20
I should build a linux version too (needs pretty much time).

The source is for the GUI frontend. It's in Java and uses SWT. It works=20
perfectly on linux (I used it myself a couple of times).
But the problem is that you can't do anything with the GUI alone. You=20
need GCC builds and precompiled utilities...

There is no documentation. What should be in there?

Yes and no.
You could compile the gccs and utilities yourself. The GUI would work.
Another thing you could do is donate to javaCompiler and thus influence=20
my decision wether to create a linux release or not ;-)
