Jikes 1.12 for OS/2 with Unicode support readme.
1. Install the jikes
Just copy the jikes.exe somewhere in the path, (eg X:\java11\bin)
is the best choice.
2. Install the conversion tables
The conversion tables have not been inculed this package since the
version 1.12. (They are more constant than the jikes itself.)
Without the tables you can use only the following algorithmic
encodings:
UTF8, UTF16_BigEndian, UTF16_LittleEndian,
UTF16_PlatformEndian, UTF16_OppositeEndian,
LATIN_1, ISO_2022
To use other encodings you need to download one of these packages:
icu_14_cnv_base.zip - base tables for the OS/2 supported codepages:
ibm-437, ibm-850, ibm-852, ibm-857,
ibm-860, ibm-861, ibm-863, ibm-865,
ibm-942, ibm-944, ibm-946, ibm-948
icu_14_cnv_all.zip - all ICU conversion tables (see convrtrs.txt)
You can specify the input file encoding with the "-encoding" option of
the jikes. If you do not specify this option the system codepage is the
default. (So it is recommended to download at least the icu_14_cnv_base.zip
package.)
To install the converter files make the following steps:
1. Create a directory for the files (eg. C:\ICU_CONV)
2. Unpack the downloaded icu_14_cnv_xxx.zip package to this directory.
(eg. unzip icu_14_cnv_base.zip -dC:\ICU_CONV)
3. Insert the following line in your config.sys:
SET ICU_DATA=<the name of the directory contains the tables>
(eg. SET ICU_DATA=C:\ICU_CONV)
4. Restart your system
3. Another Tale
Once upon a time I started to port the Jikes for OS/2. Many things
were changed from the version 1.11 to 1.12. The sources are more
organized and an autoconfig file is provided. The configure script
is an unix shell script so you should have a near complete unix style
environment to build unfortunatelly I was not able to get it to work.
But this could not stop me. I hope you see the results.

Good Luck!
