+The Jikes project is a collaborative software development project
+dedicated to providing a compiler from Java source code to bytecode
+that is conformant, robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and
+freely available. This project is jointly managed by a group of
+companies and individual volunteers throughout the world, using the
+Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the compiler
+and its related software and documentation.
+
+The Jikes project is licensed under the IBM Public License, which has
+been approved by the Open Source Initiative.
+
+The project currently includes the Jikes compiler, the Jikes Parser
+Generator, and the Jikes Test Suite.
