Can I compile Java programs on the Amiga

Yes, it is possible to compile Java applications on the Amiga, using an Amiga port of Jikes, an open source Java compiler from IBM. The only drawback at the moment is that you will not be able to execute them on your system. This may be useful in writing code on your Amiga and then testing it on another system.

To run Java programs on your Amiga you will need a Java Virtual Machine. These are in the preliminary stages due to a lack of technical information on the Java system. At present the most advanced Java Virtual Machine is Kaffe. However, this is fairly limited, only able to run some simple classes. When compiling for use with Kaffe using Jikes, you will need to use the +1.0 option and not any features of Java 1.1, or higher.

The Amiga version of Jikes can be found on Aminet and compiled for a number of processors. It is available on Aminet in dev/lang.
