what about using jikes? Jikes is nice for Java VM projects where you
have a bootstrap problem associated with Java compilers themselves
written in Java.
Well, we have* our own VM, right?
* have => ok, in the future...
I assume that Archie meant the Jikes compiler, right?
Yes..
Not sure whether that is under active development. The last release I
can see in their archive is 2004-10-03.
I'm not sure either. It works fine for pre-1.5 java source code.
I mention it only as an option. It has always worked fine for me,
and not relying on Java is always available (and consistent).
