All this talk about javac and what should be visible and what should not, just points out the need for the Java Specs to define a standardize way to access a Java Compiler. With JSPs and other technologies that require compilation of generated code it should be obvious that we cannot continue using javap to try to solve this problem.
Perhaps we need something similar to JAXP (the standarizd API for XML parsers) that all Java compiler providers should support to make tools portable to different environments. Anyone willing to make an JSR out of this?
