Hi,
See the earlier posts about building Classpath without Classpath.
I use jikes, a native Java compiler to build an earlier non-generics
version of Classpath (you need to do this as jikes is not 1.5
compatible). I then use this with JamVM to run ecj. As ecj is 1.5
compatible, this can be used to build the latest version of Classpath.
With JamVM 1.5.1, compatible non-generics versions of Classpath are
0.92 or 0.93 (earlier versions of Classpath won't work). Both of
these can be used to run ecj.
I use a simple script to run ecj:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/jamvm/bin/jamvm -Xmx512m -Xms256m \
-cp <path to ecj.jar> \
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.Main \
"$@"
