[jdt-core-dev] about eclipse Java compiler

[Takashi Okamoto <toraneko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, eclipse.

I want to use eclipse Java compiler with other software like ant
instead of SUN's compiler. I investigated how I can do. Finally I
found org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.Main is useful to do it.
But some of features aren't enough.

	- can't distinguish wheather compiling is success or not.
	- constructor and compile(String[] argv) method isn't public.

So, I wrote a patch briefly. Could you commit it?

regards,

Takashi Okamoto
