Great.

You did a bit too much there -  its's not necessary to recompile everything to 
test with jikes or javac. It's enough to simply tell the test suite which 
compiler it should use for compiling the XMLc generated classes :-)

You can specify this explicitly by setting the "test.javac" property for the 
xmlc/modules/xmlc/build.xml script (either on the command line, or in 
xmlc/modules/xmlc/build.properties if you want to make it permanent). Legal 
values for "test.javac" are the same as for the "-javac" option to XMLC.

If "test.javac" is not set, the "tests" target in the build script 
automatically figures out if jikes is on the path and uses either jikes (if 
it is available) or javac.

I'll look into it, but normally the scripts should honor the "build.compiler" 
settings....
