Unfortunately, I tried to compile Limewire with Jikes and it failed. So does gcj.
I've been asked to break these compilation bugs down into small test programs and write bugs for them, but my Java is not all that great so it's going to take some time. michael ----- Forwarded message from Matthias Pfisterer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Matthias Pfisterer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Michael Cardenas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: debian-java@lists.debian.org, debian-mentors@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: autobuilders and java Hi, jikes is known to be one of the best java compilers, and it's open source. A Debian package is in main. However, it's only a compiler without runtime libs. So to compile a swing app, you have to set the classpath for jikes so that it can find the swing jars. I almost always use it with ant, and ant does all the magic of setting classpaths, so I can't give you details on this.
