Jikes is a fast Java compiler.  We have a copy of that
executable for Linux, because some later versions handled interface
inheritance the wrong way.  Installation is just a matter of copying
to somewhere in your PATH, say $HOME/bin/jikes.  Pretty much any `javac'
will work, though.  jikes is especially handy for building Swarm from
source because it tears through compiling the Java stubs.
