            Bug ID: 2813
           Summary: [IcedTea7] Make IcedTea self-sufficient so that a JDK
                    is not needed to bootstrap
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 7-hg
          Hardware: all
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: IcedTea
          Assignee: gnu.andrew at redhat.com

GCJ is being deprecated and eventually removed from GCC [0]. We should allow
IcedTea to bootstrap without it, using the same technique as GCJ did (pre-built
class files). IcedTea already uses JamVM as an alternate VM and so can use this
with GNU Classpath to bootstrap OpenJDK, instead of relying on an external
system JDK.
