I'd suggest compiling the Java stuff with jikes.  It is a fast,
reliable compiler.

  http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes

The time it takes to down and install will make up for the time it
takes to compile java using plain old javac.

Here's the script I use to build on Solaris 2.[78].  Replace P, and
whatever pathnames as appropriate on your system.  "JAVAC=jikes" tells
Swarm to compile using jikes instead of the `javac' it finds.  The javac
distributed with Kaffe won't work.

#!/bin/sh
JAVAC=jikes ./configure --prefix=$P/swarm-test --enable-subdirs 
--with-xpmdir=/usr/local/X11 --with-tcldir=/opt/SUNWtcl/8.0/sun4 
--with-bltdir=/opt/SDGblt/2.4g --with-zlibdir=/opt/SDGzlib/1.1.3 
--with-pngdir=/opt/SDGlibpng/1.0.5 --with-hdf5dir=$P/data/hdf5 
--with-jdkdir=/opt/jdk1.3 && make
