BTW, The JUnit guys recently discovered a bug in the Jikes compiler:

on unary operations, the primitive is promoted to an int.  For example:

class Bogus
{
    byte  classByte  = Byte.MAX_VALUE;
    short classShort = Short.MAX_VALUE;
    int   classInt   = Integer.MAX_VALUE;

    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        classByte++;
        classShort++;
        classInt++;

        System.out.print(classByte + " is less than " + Byte.MAX_VALUE);
        System.out.println( (classByte < Byte.MAX_VALUE) ?
                              " = true" : " = false" );

        System.out.print(classShort + " is less than " +
                         Short.MAX_VALUE);
        System.out.println( (classByte < Short.MAX_VALUE) ?
                              " = true" : " = false" );

        System.out.print(classInt + " is less than " +
                         Integer.MAX_VALUE);
        System.out.println( (classInt < Integer.MAX_VALUE) ?
                              " = true" : " = false" );
    }
}

The correct output would be:

-128 is less than 127 = true
-32768 is less than 32767 = true
-2147483648 is less than 2147483647 = true

When comiled with javac, the output is correct.  When compiled with
Jikes, the results are:

128 is less than 127 = false
32768 is less than 32767 = false
-2147483648 is less than 2147483647 = true
