[Jean-Marc Vanel] Sure.
And now that the JDK libraries are open source, it will soon be complete
in that respect.
And also they are switching to the eclipse compiler, which will allow to
use the latest Java 5 syntax.
And you can debug with gdb a mixed language application.
On the darker side, I heard that on Windows the Cygwin distribution has
an inconvenient license, while the MinGW distribution is not up-to-date
with the latest compiler version.

BTW, what do you think prevents eclipse or gcc to use Antlr ?
