Title: RE: jikes and Ant vs. javac 1.3

That's a big one, thanks.  Perhaps I just need to figure out a way to structure my build script so that I can easily switch between Jikes and Javac.  Does anyone have any insight on this?

A potential problem that may or may not impact you is Jikes's integration with JPDA.  If you compile your code with Jikes, you will not be able to debug your code using JPDA-compatible debuggers.  In general, if you use debuggers, Jikes has been known to cause problems.  This is listed as one of the known issues/bugs but no one seems to know of a way to fix it.

I used jikes to compile 553 files and i had no problem with it. Our code has
been runing on the production site for the past month and we have had no
problem.

Hi folks -

I was thinking about switching to jikes for my builds.  My team is currently
using jdk1.3 (javac).

I was wondering if anyone knew of any potential pitfalls I can be aware of
(either with Ant or jikes itself) before making the switch.

Also, besides the speed increase, what else can I expect from jikes.  I
think it has better dependency checking, if I'm not mistaken.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Ken
