Javac isn't invoked with Runtime.exec(). Since it is written in Java, it is invoked by directly calling the class (that is inside tools.jar if I'm not mistaken). It can take a long String in its parameters, so it doesn't run up against the limitation of Runtime.exec(). Jikes has to be invoked with Runtime.exec() because it is a C++ program distributed as an .exe (on Windows at least).
