## Class Jikes

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers.DefaultCompilerAdapter
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers.Jikes

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    CompilerAdapter, CompilerAdapterExtension

      public class Jikes
      extends DefaultCompilerAdapter

  The implementation of the jikes compiler. This is primarily a cut-and-paste from the original javac task before it was refactored.
  Since:
    Ant 1.3

    - #### execute

          public boolean execute()
                          throws BuildException

      Performs a compile using the Jikes compiler from IBM. Mostly of this code is identical to doClassicCompile() However, it does not support all options like extdirs, deprecation and so on, because there is no option in jikes and I don't understand what they should do. It has been successfully tested with jikes >1.10.
      Returns:
        true if the compilation succeeded
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - on error
