I really wasn't jumping down your throat but instead I was *excited* that jikes might be more compatible with JPDA. :) The only problem is that the line "second round of JPA pampering" seems to be a developers changelog comment and not an official statement from the project. It is one thing for a developer to say that JPDA is supported within jikes but it is another for the project to claim that JPDA is supported (and of course provide some documentation to back it up). > >From the Jikes CVS, the 1.15 changelog contains the following entry: > > 2001-09-06 Russ Trotter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > * src/bytecode.cpp (GenerateAccessMethod) > (GenerateClassAccessMethod): Second half of JPDA patches, to work > > around bug in Sun's software - patch 119, from bugs 210, 473. yes... see.
