    Parallel or Distributed Java Compiler?

    Greetings,

    Does anyone know if there is a tool similar to distcc
    (http://distcc.samba.org/) for Java? I'm interested in finding a parallel
    or distributed Java compiler.

    Thanks for your time.

      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?
