Hello,
I would like to use the Jikes compiler with Eclipse (not the Jikes VM) to
compile my java sources into byte code. Has someone already done this?
Hox indicate to Eclipse that we want to use Jikes.exe instead of javac.exe?
regards
Xavier

Hi,

Eclipse internally uses its own compiler not javac.exe.

I think the simplest solution is to create an ant build file and set either
the compiler attribute for the javac task or set the build.compiler property
to 'jikes'. After it (assuming you use a recent Eclipse 3.0 milestone)
disable the internal Java Builder in Project Properties-->Builders and
create an Ant build here. You can set when this builder need to run (full
builds, incremental builds, auto builds) and you can set a relevant working
set of resources.

More information for the ant javac task and jikes additional options can be
found in the ant manual.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba

Thanks a lot Csaba,
Another question. Do you know how to supress the 64Kb limit for a
method(it is a automatic generated method)?

This would go against the spec:
