Description Marius Slavescu CLA 2007-05-02 10:21:46 EDT 
Currently I'm using boolean org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.Main.compile(String commandLine, PrintWriter outWriter, PrintWriter errWriter). 
Would be a plus if better error reporting (instead of the writers) can be provided (even for this kind of invocation).

I would like to get an API supported mechanism to invoke the JDT compiler in Eclipse  and standalone mode.

Would be great if I can do the compilation in memory and also avoid using a Java project or workspace (especially for standalone mode), something similar with what http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jci/ provides.

I can provide more details when required.

I need this kind of support for JRE 1.4 and up, I understand JCI capability is available in JRE 1.6 through JSR 199.
