What happend to Jikes ?

[dave]

Does anyone know what happend to Jikes ?

I would like to have a version of Jikes which fully
supports Java 5.0, but I wonder if anyone is still
working on it, since the last release was in
October 2004 ...

Will there ever be a new release ?

It really annoys me that there's is absolutely no
information about the status of the Jikes-project ...

I thought 1.22 was up to date. Is that not the case?

I'd be suprised if Jikes got much more development, now that
IBM have the Eclipse compiler:

``Eclipse have great fast and incremental compiller which can also detect
problems like possible accidental boolean assignment, method with
constructor name, finally block not completing normally, unused locals,
unused private fields and unused throws and lot of others. You can run
this compiller from command line using the following command. [...]''

Documentation about the command line parameters is available on:

HTH,

Thanks, I'll check it out.

No, it doesn't support generics yet, for example.
