Jikes also has an incremental compilation mode that you may want to look
into.
Basically, you run jikes with the list of files you want compiled, and
give it the incremental mode flag. After it has compield the files you
have given it, the process stays alive and attached to stdin and keeps a
bunch of info related to the class heirarchy loaded in memory. When you
have made your changes and are ready to recompile, you just hit enter in
the console you started jikes in and it recompiles whatever needs to be.
