Bug 521988 - Remove docs for GCJ
Eclipse requires Java 8 now while GCJ never moved beyong Java 6 and is
removed from latest GCC even. Drop our docs too as they are useless.

-<h1>GCJ</h1>
-<p>GCJ is an effort by the GCC team to provide an open source Java compiler and
-runtime environment to interpret Java bytecode. Unfortunately, the GCJ runtime
-environment is not an environment that is often tested on by Eclipse
-developers.</p>
-
-<p>The most common problems surrounding GCJ are:
--Eclipse does not start at all
--Eclipse throws a 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
-org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin' that can be found in the logs (located in
-workspace/.metadata/.log)</p>
-
-<p>The workspace's log file is a good place to check to identify whether GCJ is
-being used or not. Every Eclipse log session should be prepended with
-information about the runtime environment that was used to run Eclipse. The log
-may include something like the following:</p>
-
-<code>java.fullversion=GNU libgcj 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5)</code>
-
-<p>If Eclipse does start, one can check which runtime environment is being used to
-run Eclipse by going to 'Help > About Eclipse SDK > Configuration Details'. The
-About Dialog itself can also provide other information, the build identifier
-can be of particular interest as it is tagged by some distros. This allows the
-user to identify whether Eclipse was downloaded through the distribution's
-package management system or directly from the eclipse.org website.</p>
-
-Eg: <code>Build id: M20070212-1330 (Ubuntu version: 3.2.2-0ubuntu3)</code>
-
-<p>The two most common workarounds would be to:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>download the Eclipse binary from eclipse.org directly</li>
-<li>run Eclipse using an alternate Java runtime environment</li></ul>
-
-<p>To download Eclipse, try one of the links below:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/</a></li>
-<li><a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a></li></ul>
-
-It is imperative that 64-bit builds are downloaded and used if a 64-bit Java
-runtime environment has been installed. Below are two sample tarball names of
-version 3.3.2 of the Eclipse SDK packaged for 32-bit and 64-bit processors.
-
-<pre>eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz (32-bit)
-eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz (64-bit)</pre>
-
-<p>To run Eclipse with an alternate Java runtime environment, the path to the Java
-virtual machine's binary must be identified. With an Eclipse installation from
-the distribution, altering the $PATH variable to include the path to the
-alternate Java runtime environment is often not enough as the Eclipse that
-Linux distributions package often performs a scan internally to pick up GCJ by
-itself whilst ignoring what's on the $PATH. An example of the terminal's output
-can be seen below:</p>
-
-<code>searching for compatible vm...<br>
- testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea...not found<br>
- testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found</code>
-
-<p>Once the path to the virtual machine's binary has been identified, try running
-Eclipse with the following command:</p>
-
-<code>./eclipse -vm /path/to/jre/bin/java</code>
-
-<p>For an actual example, it might look something like the following:</p>
-
-<code>./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/sun-java-6/bin/java<br>
-./eclipse -vm /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java</code>
-
-<p>If this seems to solve the problem, it is likely that the problem really was
-related to the use of GCJ as the Java runtime for running Eclipse. The
-eclipse.ini file located within Eclipse's folder can be altered to
-automatically pass this argument to Eclipse at startup. An example of its
-content is presented below:</p>
-
-<code>-showsplash<br>
-org.eclipse.platform<br>
---launcher.XXMaxPermSize<br>
-256m<br>
--vm<br>
-/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java<br>
--vmargs<br>
--Xms40m<br>
--Xmx512m</code>
-
-<p>Note that every argument must be on its own line. More information about the
-eclipse.ini file can be found at <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini</a>.</p>
-
-<p>If problems persists after downloading an installation of Eclipse from
-eclipse.org and using a supported Java runtime environment (a list of which may be found in the readme_eclipse.html supplied with your installation), one should seek
-assistance from the Eclipse team via its plethora of communication channels
-like the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/">newsgroups</a>, the IRC <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse">channel</a>, and/or <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/" target="_blank">bugzilla</a>.</p>
