javac offsprings and modifications

[leszekp at Safe-mail.net]

Hello

After javac open-sourcing many people have had chance to look into original
java compiler internals and work with it. Maybe it would be good to gather
information about various offsprings and modifications of javac (either
released, under development or planned) and see in what directions it all goes.

I know about the following projects based on javac:
- kitchen sink - an experimental language
- jackpot - java source transformation tool

Any other ones you are aware of?

Personally I am working on replacing javac hand coded lexer and parser
by a framework generated ones (dfa lexer and lalr parser based on
annotations) to allow easier experimenting with language features.
