IBM releases Java compiler for Linux

Posted by sengan on Tuesday July 21, 1998 @02:55PM from the have-to-upgrade-to-glibc-to-use-it dept.

IBM has released an incremental Java compiler called Jikes. It's faster, produces more warnings, and might herald the porting of other IBM products to Linux, like their java-bytecode to native compiler (hint, hint). These products are the result of their researchers, rather than their product teams, which means that they can compete with the product line (like Visual Age for Java) yet be given away (no source).
