This should not be used to simply compile Java code.

You can either use the batch compiler or use the JSR199 support.
For the jsr199 support, you would need the plugin 
org.eclipse.jdt.compiler.tool and org.eclipse.jdt.core.
You don't actually need the whole org.eclipse.jdt.core contents. You 
might want to add the ecj.jar on the classpath of your plugin.

ecj.jar contains all the required types for the batch compiler and the 
jsr199 support.

Let me know if you need more details.
