Implementing a Java shadow using a jikes extension
This web-site is temporary until it is replaced by a better temporary web-site.
It provides a new approach for the implementation of shadows
in Java using a modified compiler (adapted from
jikes).
- For a discussion why shadows are useful or how the concept
works (on an abstract level) see the original shadow page.
In addition to other things it contains a paper and a talk.
- For compilation you need a modified Java compiler that can be obtained
here. It is derived from jikes, version 1.21, and
provides an additional flag "-dy" that switches on the dynamic behavior that is necessary
for compiling the shadow concept.
- Here are the jar file of the shadow
classes and the javadoc API.
- Finally you find here an step-by-step example in the formats
powerpoint (ppt), pdf, or
HTML/JPG.
