You may have some invalid zip in your classpath, e.g. classes.zip, which
doesn't exist in JDK 1.2. If you have multiple JDKs installed (1.1 and 1.2)
and want to switch, you will be forced to change the CLASSPATH in the
switch, removing all the 1.1-only zips/jars and inserting all the
1.2-specific jars like rt.jar and tools.jar. This is because jikes is not
smart enough to find the core packages automatically.

Subject: Problem running Jikes on Linux with JDK1.2
>Hi,

>I installed jikes version .47 on my linux box running RedHat 5.2. I also

>the following error message from jikes:
>"zip file is invalid or content a comment, please re-zip without
>comments". After a few minutes of debugging if found out that the error

>Any help would be appreciated.
