man gij

NAME
      gij - GNU interpreter for Java bytecode
       ...

DESCRIPTION
       "gij" is a Java bytecode interpreter included with "libgcj".
       ...
       The primary argument to "gij" is the name of a class or, with
       "-jar", a jar file.
       ...

I've never used it before, but it looks like what you want to run is
"gij HelloWorld" after you've compiled your code.
