Re: jikes (was: compiling ant to a native binary)

Fwiw, I've read on several occasions that the byte code generated by jikes isn't always reliable. I don't know why or under what circumstances it produces "bad" code, but for that reason alone, I won't use jikes and would caution others to be careful.

Perhaps this problem has been addressed and jikes is now perfectly compatible. But I haven't heard and don't keep up on it.

I've been using Jikes on MacOS X in development and we use it in production on Linux. I've not experienced anything that would lead me to believe it was producing bad bytecode. Nor have I read anything claiming that.
BTW, anyone know if Jikes development is still progressing? The jikes page here:

http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ index.php?group_id=10&recent_only=1

says 1.18 was released on 2002-11-22.
