I've already run into one problem- jikes worked OK with sun-java6-*, but when I
try the corresponding compile with openjdk-6-*:
jikes -bootclasspath /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar gencode.java
Found 1 semantic error compiling "gencode.java":
6. class gencode
^-----^
*** Semantic Error: The class file "Class.class" in "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar/java/lang" has an invalid format (duplicate local variable type table).
I don't know enough Java to know if this is easy to fix or not.
