It core dumps, sometimes generates invalid classfiles, and other bad stuff. Some of this I've seen and other things only heard about. As maintainer of the port, I'm wondering what we should do about it... Option #0: Do nothing and live with it. Option #1: Revert jikes port back to 1.15 Option #2: Add a new port "jikes-stable" that builds version 1.15 Option #3: Try to prod the jikes development team to fix the bugs so jikes is more stable and then put out a new release. I'm thinking Option #2 might be best.. what do other people think?
