I remember discovering and using jikes in the 90's. It was /so/ much faster than javac back then.

"Modernizing" to Java 6 is amusing.

Almost got to Java 7. And there is a huge gap between Jikes' original Java 4 and Java 6.

Even Java 6 support should make ground zero bootstrap of modern JDKs much easier.
