Ok, I insalled libiconv and can not build and run Test.java within ming32. Is there anyway to staticly link in libiconv so I run the executable from dos ?

worked for me:
$ gcj –main=Test -o Test Test.java
$ ./Test.exe
Hello, world!
$ gcj –version
gcj (GCC) 3.3.1 (cygming special)

You can install libiconv via the Cygwin setup.exe

Maybe I need to install something else? Any ideas

makes me want to install cygwin again now. used to use it ages ago but had moral issues with trying to make my non-unix based OS look like unix.
but i’m willing to give it a shot again. i hate windows enough to make it happen.

The .exe is about 2.5 MB. I assume that represents alot of "overhead".
