Since I have no idea what GnuJSP is, I'll assume that you have no way of modifying it to call 'jikes' instead of javac? If it can be modified, I'd modify it to use 'jikes' instead of javac. It seems fine so far... but > are there cases where the flags are different or anything else to be > cautious of? 'jikes -deprecation' is not supported, but otherwise it's almost 100% compatible at the command line with javac. In our build setup, we've replaced the 'JAVAC' environment variable with 'jikes', and we have no problems whatsoever.
