This project uses the javacc target for ant, which is useless and needs a reimplementation. I have made a bug in the ant database about it: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28034 Once that is fixed, we may be able compile this beast, and then.. only 20 more packages before we're halfway to getting snipsnap working.
Fixed. Available for testing on x86 as dev-java/axion-1.0_rc2.

I tried running with and without "jikes" and neither works. BTW ... I do have snipsnap working ... I think
