I was just too impatient - and ignorant. I'm very much an amateur
self-taught 'applet kiddie' programmer, and I don't know my way
around debian. I couldn't find any classes for jikes - the
repository directory was empty and 'find / -name *classes*'
didn't turn up anything - so I imagined I'd have to go through
the hassle of downloading something from somewhere and installing
it myself somehow, which frightened me off.
However, I came across the classes jar quite by chance when looking
for kaffe documentation. 'Klasses.jar', there it was, nearly a
MB long, that must be it. Had I missed something in the manpages
or was it obvious to a real programmer that it would be there?
Anyway, it works - and dazzlingly fast compared with jdk.
Thanks for your help.
