Please compile classes using jikes-1.15.  Newer versions of Jikes are
not yet supported (there are known problems with Jikes 1.17 them that
need further investigation).

As for the class version number, it means that Jikes 1.18 generates
bytecode which is not supported by the currently published JVM
specification (i.e. second edition)...
