[kaffe] [Question]jike and kaffe

[neo anderson]

Hi,
lately i try to install kaffe on my pc box,
yet i found out one thing makes me confused. 
when "./configure" in the kaffe* folder, messages is
as follow. why do we need jikes? isn't jike acting the
same as kaffe (simply it's released via ibm)?
therefore, if i need to use jike, why i have to use
kaffe? 
i appreciate any suggestions, sincerely.
jason
