It's still not 100% user friendly and you might need some missing libs. 
Just contact me if you run into such problems...

Yes, these don't work on Windows and where far from complete on Linux 
the last time I tried. But the core compiler I use is also GCJ.

What operating system do you use? Which version? The working directory 
has to be the parent of the binaries. On Windows, this is the default if 
you double click the binaries. On Linux, it's not (at least not on my 
distro).

No, absolutely not. Just download the GUI frontend and start the 
JavaNativeCompiler. The GUI will appear even if you have not yet 
downloaded a compiler.
But better start with the AutoCompiler. What exception does it give?
