distcc for Java
Anthony Green is trying to hack (as with an axe) distcc into something that can do distributed compiles for Java. Good luck!
Tom Tromey has some comments in response.
I think the compilation process for Java and C are so different that they may not fit into the same program, but perhaps it can work.
I had wondered in the past whether I should have made the distcc server and protocol completely independent of the work of compilation, so that they just distribute arbitrary work. The client needs some special intelligence about how to interpret gcc command lines and run the preprocessor. But I think this can be done purely on the client, in a gcc-specific skin.
There really are a remarkable number of bright people at Red Hat these days.
