Robert~ Ease of debugging mostly. Our production environment always goes straight to bytecode, but when we are debugging the compiler it is much nicer to be able to step through java code and get links from it back to compiler code the generated it.

Are there optimizing compilers out there for Java source code => byte code that you can leverage? If not, then is there a particular example of a place where it's easier to generate Java code than byte code? I just don't see what you're gaining, although I'm intrigued. ~~ Robert.
