How do I use Jikes Compiler?

The Jikes^TM compiler translates Java source files as defined in the Java Language Specification into the bytecode instruction set and binary format defined in the Java VM specification.

Visit http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikes/ for more information on the Jikes compiler.

To configure Server to use Jikes, change the external-compiler tag in deploy-config.xml present in <install_root>/server/nodes/<node_name>/config/ to specify that you want to use Jikes compiler. This is applicable only for out of process compilation. The use attribute should be set to jikes and the path should point to the correct path of the jikes executable:

<compilation>
  <out-of-process-compilation enabled="true">
    <external-compiler use="jikes" path="C:\jikes-1.18\bin\jikes.exe"/>
    <property name="initial-heap-size-megabytes" value="120"/>
    <property name="maximum-heap-size-megabytes" value="200"/>
  </out-of-process-compilation>
</compilation>
