First, GCJ compiles java to .class like jikes or gcj. It can generate native code as well - with the right options, but works as a normal java compiler. On the other side it has problems with inner classes - and won't compile all jakarta without code changes. Jikes is fast - but the recent versions seem to have some problems with the produced code. I think it would be safer to use javac for ant ( but keep jikes as the default for JSPs please :-) Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
