Works like a charm. It compiles faster than other 
tools does dependency checking. 

I use GNU utilities for windows (cygwin)
and do the following:

find . -name '*.java' > javafiles
jikes @javafiles

Takes less than 20 seconds to (re)compile 2000 files. 

jikes rejects code that javac in JDK1.1 accepts. This is 
a good thing cause it will usually make your code more 
forward-compatible. 

We always recompile everything with JDK 1.1.8 before testing 
and final delivery though :-)
