All Implemented Interfaces:

    public class Jikes

extends DefaultCompilerAdapter

The implementation of the jikes compiler. This is primarily a cut-and-paste from the original javac task before it was refactored.

Since:

Constructor Detail

### Jikes

    public Jikes()

Method Detail

### execute

    public boolean execute()
                    throws BuildException

  Performs a compile using the Jikes compiler from IBM. Mostly of this code is identical to doClassicCompile() However, it does not support all options like extdirs, deprecation and so on, because there is no option in jikes and I don't understand what they should do. It has been successfully tested with jikes >1.10.

  Returns:
    true if the compilation succeeded
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error
