The Gnu Project has released version 4.2.1 of GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. GCC contains frontends for C, C++, Objective C, Fortran, Ada, and Java as well as libraries for these languages. GCC's Java is a clean room implementation that doesn't use any Sun code, so it doesn't always exactly match Sun release versions, but this is roughly at the Java 1.4 level with some omissions. 4.2.1 is a bug fix release and "will be the last release of GCC covered by version 2 of the GNU General Public License. All future releases will be released under GPL version 3."
