You need to add an ENV variable:
JIKESPATH=/usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/rt.jar:$CLASSPATH
This tells Jikes where to find the runtime jar.
For Ant you will need an '.ant.properties' file.
The ant build script expects:
${user.home}/.ant.properties
The contents of my file is:
# Use Jikes
build.compiler=jikes
# +E in Jikes
build.compiler.emacs=true
# +F in Jikes
build.compiler.fulldepend=false
# -nowarn in Jikes
build.compiler.warnings=true
# +P in Jikes
build.compiler.pedantic=true
#build.compiler.pedantic=false
That should be it. To commmand line compile (and test)
just type 'jikes' on the command line insteac of 'javac'
Let me know if you have any problems.
