Bug#483065: O: jikes -- Fast Java compiler adhering to language and VM specifications

[Adam Majer <adamm@zombino.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the jikes package. I haven't used Jikes for a very
long time now. Upstream have also disappeared recently. If adopting
this package, please also adopt jikes-contrib.


The package description is:
 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.
