The program is not a test program, but a real program called EPMR, which

Granted jdk 1.3 is better than jdk 1.2; however, I still find that jikes is
about 1.5 times faster than jdk 1.3. In addition,
I used to use jikes, back in the dim and distant past when java
was slow, and javac was slower. But I had too many cases of
it objected to code which looked fine to me (and also, old
versions sometimes crashed on me -- that may have been fixed
now).
Incidentally, you might like to look at the ja
sion,
"org/biojava/bio/symbol/SingletonAlphabet", does not match the return type
of the method, "org/biojava/bio/symbol/Alphabet".

What sort of errors did you get?
Were they complaints about accessing static (final?) class data fields
using instance variables?
e.g.,
Foo foo = new foo();
int x = foo.x;
(where x is a class variable)
The Sun compiler (last time I used it .. which was ages ago :-) lets this
pass, but other c
Has anyone successfully compiled BioJava 1.10 with
the IBM Jikes compiler? I receive many errors. I believe some of the errors are
allowed by the Sun compiler although they are valid errors. Is anyone interested
in fixing the errors so that the BioJava can be compiled with
Jikes?
Thanks,
