Jikes Compiler Integration 2.1 (ID #22090)

Keith Wood

To install, just copy the JikesCompiler.jar file to your JBuilder/lib/ext directory and restart JBuilder.

You also need to download a copy of the Jikes compiler itself. See the Jikes home page at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/.

Initialise Jikes in the Preferences dialog on the Jikes tab. Locate the Jikes executable, select any standard options for Jikes, enter any additional options required, and press OK to save the setup.

Then, in the Project Properties dialog, on the Build | Java tab, select Jikes from the Compiler list. When you subsequently build your project, Jikes is invoked to perform the compilation phase. Any messages and errors are sent to the messages pane, with errors linking back to the corresponding source lines.
