GCJ is practically dead these days, and it has been completely dropped
from Fedora. For that reason I didn't bother porting gcc-java to x86_64
after seeing that work would be required to do so.
The one package in the distro which still required GCJ -- namely, pdftk
-- actually has licensing issues:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-March/196371.html
With the recent addition of qpdf for both arches (thanks, Marco!), I
would like to remove pdftk from the distro, and gcc-java from gcc in the
next build. Any objections?
