Using JIKES compiler with Eclipse [message #54740]

Is it possible to use IBM's JIKES compiler within Eclipse? I'm just looking
to speed up compilation times. (directions on a windows os would be
appreciated)

Thanks,
Tom

The only option would be disabling Eclipse's autobuild feature and using
an ant script to compile your code. I doubt though, that this'll result in
big performance gains because IMHO Eclipse's incremental compiler does
quite a good job...

Not really what you are looking for but you can configure an Ant build and a
javac task to compile using Jikes. You must specify the build.compiler
property to be "jikes" (or the compiler attribute)

This does not change or replace the built in Java builder.
See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=29677 for more details.

Thanks. That makes sense. I'll just continue to use Jikes in my ANT
deployment scripts only.

You can also call Jikes directly - as a tool.

Eclipse has fairly effectively replaced Jikes.
