Yes, yes and yes. With the added benefit, that jikes will show the same bugs for any JDK while the different javacs will have different bugs 8-). Actually jikes will do some better checking than javac does, especially it won't generate bytecode that is invalid for JDK 1.3 as the javac of JDK 1.1 does. > I imagine an Ant build script where I do "developer builds" with > jikes-- which screams, and javac with full optimizations on/debug > off for production build/release. Well, currently all you'd have to do is turning build.compiler to jikes or modern/classic if you feel so inclined. Personally I don't have any problems with using jikes for production code as well.
