Eclipse Javac?

[Stuart Ballard]

I found a few posts in the archives indicating that people have 
successfully built the Eclipse Java compiler in a Free environment. I 
wasn't quite sure from reading the postings whether this was done with a 
Classpath-based VM or with gcj, but I think most of the gcj hackers are 
here too and I'm not subscribed to the gcj list (sorry).

I'm working on something that could really use a good, free Java 
compiler written in Java, and I thought eclipse-javac was worth 
evaluating. But I'm not sure where to even start trying to build it - 
the debian source package is for the whole of eclipse, and looking in 
that tarball it wasn't even obvious where the Java compiler was located. 
Furthermore, eclipse apparently requires eclipse to build, which is a 
dependency I'd rather avoid (at least for now).

If anyone's successfully built eclipse-javac as a standalone compilation 
(or has any insight on where I should start trying to figure it out) I'd 
really appreciate any tips.

Thanks,
Stuart.
