As a MIT student who has seen undergraduate students suffer under this
compiler in our software engineering classes, _please_ don't use this one.
=) It was the cause of no end of headaches and many late nights with
coffee. If you look at http://www.pmg.lcs.mit.edu/polyj/bugs.html you'll
see what I mean.

If polyj stabilizes and is less crash-prone it could well be a very cool
compiler, although I can't say that I personally think that Java needs
parameterized types either.
