Hi Peter (and anyone else following this thread),
If it's any consolation, I've asked the same question on many mailing lists
over a long period of time, and nobody's given a working answer yet.
I have a JDK installed (hence I've got "javac"), plus Jikes. When using
Jikes from the commandline, it works fine. I've even uncommented the line
in "web.xml". But I never seemed to get it working, as in "the pages still
compiled, but there was no way of knowing if it was jikes or javac that did
it...". I tried renaming Jikes.exe to _jikes._exe to see if Tomcat missed
it, but it didn't complain, so I just assumed it hadn't been taken into
account anyway.
I suspected that I needed to copy all (or part) of the default web.xml into
each web-app's WEB-INF folder, uncommenting the "jikes" line as appropriate.
However, this didn't work at all well, as it seemed to give Tomcat a
headache. I've already posted on this ("overriding default web.xml with
custom web.xml). Not a lot of luck there either...
Hope someone can give a clear answer as to how to do this -- and verify that
it works!
