You may wonder why the world needs another Java compiler, considering that Sun provides javac free with its JDK. Jikes has four advantages that make it a valuable contribution to the Linux and Java communities: open source, strictly Java compatible, high performance, dependency analysis.</p> </div> </div></div> *nix dos java compiler macos open source windows Fri, 16 Dec 2005 02:29:40 -0800 http://programmerstools.org/node/364 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"><div class="flexinode-textfield-2"><div class="form-item"> <label>Version:</label><br /> NA </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-6"><div class="form-item"> <label>Description:</label><br /> <p >GCJ is a portable, optimizing, ahead-of-time compiler for the Java Programming Language.
