Yes - jikes is included for this purpose (don't
forget to check your JIKESPATH environment
variable setting).
Figure 9.1. Test Java Program HelloNst.java
public class HelloNst {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello NST");
}
}

The NST could be quite handy as a educational tool. Imagine someone wanting to teach Java to a group of students. For the price of a CDR and a memory stick (or space on a server), you have a instant development system that you can always get back to a known state simply by pressing the power button.
