1) What is Jikes and why should I need it over JAVAC?
3) How do I configure TextPad 4.4 and Kawa 5 to work with it?

Jike is the IBM version and JVM, it's the only compiler right now that is 100% compatible to the JLS (not even the J2SDK).
As far as configuring, I think there is an option somewhere that allows you to set the compiler.
In Kawa, use Customized-->Option.
Don't know about TextPad

Craig Larman gave a presentation to the Boulder Java User's Group a couple of weeks ago and stated that Jikes is the fastest Java compiler available at the moment.
He also stated that IBM's JVM implementation is one that should be considered in any HotSpot genre evaluation due to its speed as well.

Adrian, Doug, - Thanks for the replies. I was able to make Kawa use Jikes but I haven't had any success with TextPad.
