Bug#129584: O: jikes -- Fast Java compiler adhering to language and VM specifications
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of jikes, Mike Goldman <whig@debian.org>, is
apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this
bug from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new
version with your name in the Maintainer: field and a
* New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)
in the changelog so this bug is closed.

Description: Fast Java compiler adhering to language and VM specifications
Jikes is a Java compiler that translates Java source files as defined in The
Java Language Specification (Addison-Wesley, 1996) into the bytecoded
instruction set and binary format defined in The Java Virtual Machine
Specification (Addison-Wesley, 1996). Unlike other compilers, Jikes accepts
the Java language only as specified: not as a subset, variant, or superset.
.
In addition to strictly adhering to specifications, Jikes is faster than most
compilers and can compute the complete dependency relations in program files.
This allows for the generation of dependency makefiles suitable for use with
make. Jikes can also be run in incremental mode: after the initial
compilation, Jikes waits until prompted, determines which files have been
changed, and then does the minimal amount of work needed to bring the class
files into a complete and consistent state. This cycle can be repeated until
the q command is entered to end the compilation.
