What is j2cl?

I see the term "j2cl" comming up in several threads connected with GWT 3.0. What does it mean?

I speculate that this is a "Java-to-Closure-Library" transpiler, which would be GREAT, because you wouldn't depend on JRE emulation library anymore and GWT 3.0 would be safe from "Oracle copyright lawsuit nonsense". Additionally you could integrate JavaScript Closure Library code with Java code transpiled to Closure Library and it would use the exactly same class library... I guess also that Google would profit from such a transpiler in Google Inbox and other similar projects...

I hope I am not speculating too much into the Google's trade secrets and that this post will not be deleted because of this... :-)
