First question should probably be "why do you need it?".
How much code do you have? I build ~250 000 lines of code from ~2500
java files in a few seconds when I use jikes. So if you really need a
distributed java compiler you must have _HUGE_ amounts of code.
Now javac is slower than jikes, but last time I checked it was only 4
times slower if I gave javac enough memory, the default 64 MB heap is
not enough for javac.
Do you have a makefile that does something stupid for java
compilation? like starting javac for each file you build?
