Re: [jci] Deprecated? :)

Can anyone comment on what [jci] would be useful for?

Sorry for the delay ...was on the plane to San Diego :)

JCI - Java Compiler Interface aims to provide a common
API to for all compilers that generate java classes. So
far it supports

Does the new Mustang compiler API replace JCI in concept, or is there
something more detailed about JCI?

"replace" is a harsh word :)

TBH I wasn't aware that someone resurrected that JSR.

I tried to contact the (former?) spec lead before I
came up with JCI because I needed a solution *now*
...and could not wait for the JCP. AFAIU it was more
or less dead for a while.

Now looking at it ...there is an overlap for sure
but it just seems to provide a subset of what JCI
provides.

I would say JCI replaces the JSR request
from 2002 in concept ;)

But maybe someone else should have a look at the
APIs and give a statement ...I figure I am a bit
biased :)

cheers
