Is it going to be maintained as a separate project, or is it dead?

I think it's dead. In some ways that's disappointing; I actually used it successfully once to run some Java without installing runtime.
-
But I'm quite thankful for the debloating of GCC and any nasty constraints on GCC internals that are eliminated by removing it.
-
Yeah, a bit sad if it's dead though. It was a cool project. (Despite the fact that I used it zero times in 15 years of being a FOSS user.)

Compiling Java to LLVM IR would probably be a more worthwhile project, if you want/need compiled Java, than having it tied to GCC internals.
-
bigger issue here is more Java itself: an IMHO relatively lackluster language ruled over by draconian overlords...
-
Java is an awful language and an awful software engineering religion. Symbolic value of removing it can't be overstated.
-
GCC's removal of GCJ lends to the narrative that Java is a language that's dying/being abandoned.
