Initial Comment:
Nice compiler version 0.9.7 (build 2004.03.08, 18:32:51 UTC)
Compiled using JDK 1.3

Downloaded Nice-0.9.7-unix.tar.  Installed on an AIX 5.1 box running 
jvm 1.4.1.

Compiling "hello world" novice example from Nice Wiki, got the 
following exception:

Thanks for the report. I tried the exact same version of the
Nice compiler on Linux, with both Java version 1.4.1 from
blackdown and 1.4.2 from Sun without any problem. Besides,

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError:
mlsub.typing.
lowlevel.BitMatrix tried to access method
java/lang/Object.clone()
Ljava/lang/Object;
        at
mlsub.typing.lowlevel.BitMatrix.clone(BitMatrix.java:327)

seems strange, since BitMatrix is a subclass of Object, so
calling the protected method clone() is perfectly legal.
This makes me suspect that you are experimenting a JVM bug.
Could you try another version of the JVM or another machine?
Another option to workaround this bug would be to add the
"-noverify" option to the java command. It is not documented
in 'java -help', although it is recognized, so I'm not sure
if it has any effect.
