FYI Java is going to be opensourced soon.
They have been talking about it for a long time. Well and good if they do. But let us wait to see that first before we talk java is open source. Also they might chose CDDL, in that case it is going to be incompatible with GPL.
You might want to try gcj http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ Distributions like Fedora and Debian has Eclipse, Open Office, Azureus ... compiled using gcj.
