I sit opposite an inactive core contributor, so I asked him. It's still pretty active in the research community, a fork (which?) of the compiler generates good code (he claims it outperforms the latest hotspot), MMTk rocks &c. But it moves pretty slowly in terms of infrastructure; the website mentions that it doesn't support "64 bit Intel" (as much as I wish that IA64 was a thing I think they mean x86_64, is worth a try) and I don't even know if they support Java 6. I've come to work today without the disk that has my JikesRVM build environment on it, otherwise I'd let you know with more confidence; that said I haven't given it an "svn up" in at least three years. -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
