I just > know my mistakes faster than with javac :-) I discovered a difference between these two compilers when I switched to using Jikes. I don't know Java well enough to know which one is doing the right thing, however. I imported java.util.* and java.awt.*, and used the class List which is present in both packages without specifying which one. Only one had the correct parameter types, however, so javac seems to have decided which one I wanted to use based on that. Jikes complained about it. Also, I've not got my servlets to work using Jikes. The compile ok, but somehow fail to load. Recompiling them with javac make 'em work again. So, there definitely are differences in the code they produce, and sometimes this seems to matter.
