Status

Proof of Concept.

Overview

A "Hello, World" compiler implemented for my presentation on compiler construction for the JVM.

Building

1. Edit build.properties and point the scala.home property to your Scala installation directory.
2. Download the BCEL JAR and place it in the lib directory as "bcel.jar" (on Ubuntu/Debian, you can install the apt package and copy it over from /usr/share/java)
