jikes. Look for it on the IBM web site. Fast, and gives better error
messages than javac.

jikes has been mentioned already, and if you like Eclipse
<http://www.eclipse.org>, it comes with a fast built-in compiler.

I've listed more compilers at
<http://www.geocities.com/marcoschmidt.geo/jcomp.html>, just for the
sake of completeness.
