The Jikes Java compiler (release 1.11) has been installed on Athena
for all platforms. Jikes is a high performance compiler the converts
Java source code (.java files) to byte code (.class files). To use it:
athena % add jikes
athena % cjikes myfile.java
Jikes requires access to a Java class file (rt.jar or classes.zip) at
runtime. This is set automatically to the one for the most current
Java release for the platform you are on by the cjikes script, or else
you can use the Jikes binary directly with the -classpath switch:
athena % jikes -classpath [path-to-rt.jar]/rt.jar myfile.java
There is online Web documentation at http://web.mit.edu/jikes/www/jikes.html
