jikes is a java compiler. kaffe is in itself jave interpreter/jit. kaffe provides a JDK like environment which includes a compiler. As kaffe itself includes no compiler you can use jikes or kjc for this task. During build time jikes is need to compile all the jave files included in kaffe to bytecode.
