I think that if you tell IDEA to use Jikes it will run whatever binary is in IDEA_HOME\bin\jikes\bin\jikes.exe. So you could probably replace that instead. Then it could call either javac or jikes.
(Actually, I only have experience on Unix (Mac OS X), so the path I know it looks for there is IDEA_HOME/bin/jikes/bin/jikes, and the path I gave above was just a guess.) -David Mankin On Sat, 22 Jun 2002, Peter Veentjer wrote: > Is it possible to use Java Generics under IDEA?
