Jikes was last updated in October, 2004, and only partially supports Java 5. I don't think it's reasonable to support jikes for jython, unfortunately. For Jython 2.5a3+, I tried to build jython with jikes, but our requirement of JDK 1.5 or later causes problems. With our build.xml, jikes will quit because we give it the "-source 1.5" flag, but jikes only understands the 1.3 and 1.4 profiles for this. If we change the build.xml to source 1.4, then jikes emits a lot of errors relating to enums (a 1.5 lang feature) and fails to complete.
