compilation - Can I compile Java to native code?

Question

Is there any way to compile from Java to standalone (or library) machine code without requiring a JVM?

Answer 1

There used to be a tool called GCJ that was part of GCC, but it's been removed. Now, all the links in the GCC site re-direct to their non-GCJ equivalents.

NB: the comments all refered to my original answer saying you can compile Java to native code with GCJ.
