For those of us that use JPDA debuggers, we are unable to use Jikes because the JPDA libs don't like something about the code that Jikes generates. Food for thought. BTW, javac with 1.3 is loads faster than the 1.2 version. 1.3 javac really isn't all that slow...

It is faster, has less bugs the javac and is more compliant to language spec (thou still misses somethings). Personally I wouldn't use javac ever again even for production code but YMMV Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | Despite your efforts to be a romantic hero, you will | | gradually evolve into a postmodern plot device. | *------------------------------------------------------*
