Subject: [Jikes-Announce] Jikes now included in RedHat

Red Hat has added Jikes to their main source tree. V1.02 is
included in the “Lorax” public beta announced yesterday,
https://www.linuxtoday.com/stories/9625.html.

Please pound on 1.02 hard. We will try to fix as many of the
outstanding problems as we can, and get v1.03 out soon, so you
pound on that even harder.

By the way, we would appreciate any translations to French,
German, etc., for the Summary in jikes.spec. I had to revise the
text, and so deleted the translations Henner Zeller had provided.
Also thanks again to Henner for providing the first cut at the
jikes.spec file — I had only to make minor revisions to build the
RPM and SRPM files.

thanks,
dave
