Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-8241:
-------------------------------------------
This may still be a good idea, but doesn't this mean users need to deploy a JDK
(which has stricter license requirements) and not just a JRE?
> Use javac instead of javassist

> Using JDK's built-in Java-Compiler API has some advantages over javassist.
> Although compilation feels a bit slower, Java compiler API has some
> advantages:
> * boxing + unboxing works
> * generics work
> * compiler error messages are better (or at least known) and have line/column
> numbers
> The implementation does not use any temp files. Everything's in memory.
> Patch attached to this issue.
