I do not know for sure but I'm afraid ozone cannot work with such a
compiler. I have not tested it yet but ozone uses the dynamic byte-code
loading of the JVM to load the code of the database objects into the the
running process. (BTW: this is reason why we did not start coding ozone
earlier - there was no suitable VM available.) Is dynamic loading supported
by any compiler available???
