  Jikes™ RVM Home Page
A distinguishing characteristic of Jikes RVM is that it is implemented in the Java™ programming language and is self-hosted i.e., its Java code runs on itself without requiring a second virtual machine.
Jikes RVM (as of March 2003) can run a significant subset of the Eclipse IDE.
Jikes RVM (as of March 2003) is based entirely on the class libraries produced by the GNU Classpath project.

Jikes is more robust in the face of a.java file on the command line that requires another.java file that has a compilation error.
Jikes makes a better attempt to detect and warn the user of system errors, such as file not found or directory not writeable.
Jikes now builds correctly with parallel make invocations, is better at detecting a working iconv that meets jikes' needs, and will use RTTI in debugging mode to help diagnose cast errors.

 Speeding up Java development
Jikes is a command-line Java compiler that supports the most recent version of the Java language specification, including JDK 1.2/Java 2.
The Jikes project FAQ describes some of the side effects of this strict language conformance, as well as links to dozens of issues the Jikes development team has raised with Sun regarding the interpretation of the specification.
But Jikes is also notable because it lies at the center of two events: the adoption of open source philosophy and practice by large corporations, and the continued growth of Java for Linux.

A unique characteristic of the Jikes RVM is that it is implemented in the Java programming language and is self-hosted i.e., its Java code runs on itself without requiring a second virtual machine.
The virtual machine infrastructure in the Jikes RVM release was independently developed during the last four years as part of the Jalapeño research project at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.
With the availability of source code for Linux, the Linux ports of the Jikes RVM can be used for experimenting with a larger testbed that includes both the operating system and the virtual machine.

 LWN: Why didn't Jikes take off?
Jikes was written for compilation performance, but a month ago I tested a recent release and I was not impressed (it even crashed reproducably when the dependency feature was enabled).
The answer to this question is probably complex--I think Jikes definitely had the potential to be a huge hit, even as only a compiler (BTW, I believe there was an associated VM project that never reached the same maturity).
And Jikes had its share of bugs and discrepancies with javac--not that it was worse, but it made it hard for it to overcome "the standard".

 IBM releases Jikes 1.20
Jikes now builds correctly with parallel make invocations, will use RTTI in debugging mode to help diagnose cast errors, and is better at detecting a working iconv that meets jikes' needs, as well as automagically configuring without --encoding support if there is no such iconv option.
Jikes has always represented the oddest trade-off: "You can use our compiler for no cost, and it's really fast, but it will irritate the hell out of you." So now that 1.20 fixes its (if indeed it does) the onus is on them to get that message out.
Jikes is only a compiler, not a JRE, though I guess there is a JVM with the same name, but hardly anyone uses it.

 IBM Jikes for MPE/iX   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Jikes is an Open Source compiler developed by IBM that translates Java source code to executable Java bytecode (the.class files) that can then be run by an appropriate Java Virtual Machine.
Jikes is only a compiler, it does not include a Java VM.
However, Jikes is a native program and thus sometimes significantly faster than the default javac compiler that comes with the Java Developer Kit (javac is typically a java program itself).

The relevant changes that enable jikes are the first and last line.
If you want Jikes to be your java compiler you need to add the lines from conf/web.xml to your webapp's web.xml file.
If you replace standard javac with this jikes script, perhaps using symbolic link, Tomcat would not "know" anything about it, it would continue to call "javac", but it would be jikes this time.
