Anyone know where I can get the MinGW Java Compiler?

I can't seem to find out how to get it.

I believe that compiler is dead in the water, so I wouldn't recommend it.

But if you insist http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html

http://gcc.gnu.org/java/gcj2.html

Is there a better compiler? Command line is just fine.

(I know of eclipse but I don't want to get it just yet until I decide I like Java)

[3qX21hU5]

First of Java isn't a compiled language like C++ it uses JIT and is run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine), and second Eclipse is a IDE not a compiler.

I would say just download Eclipse it is a great IDE and works with C++ to.

When you download the official JDK you get a command line compiler.

I wonder why anyone would ever use GCJ. It was never faster than the official JVM and it always lagged behind in features and compatibility. If you need a great static Java compiler, then there is Excelsior JET. It is commercial, but it produces a very high quality code, close to what GCC can do with C++.
