Jikes is the IBM Research Java Compiler. It is *very* fast at compiling
Java Source Code into Java Byte Code. It also is very strict to the
Java Specification (or as strict as possible since the spec is not 100%)
The IBM JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is a JVM just like the Blackdown port
of the JDK is a JVM. The IBM one is available at the alphaworks web
site from IBM.
The IBM JVM is one of the fastest out there (if not the fastest) and
it has some rather nice technologies such as the better GC and a very
good JIT.

Well, depends on what you mean. Various people make different things
for Java. Most of them are not at the same spot. However, the IBM
Alphaworks site is a good place to look, as are links of the Blackdown
site. Sun's site is also reasonable for any "pure java" add-ons you
may want (and documentation and tutorials)
