Yes, I definitely don’t want a dependency on Sonatype stuff.  I thought
there was some release of a Maven mojo that was going to be all-Apache.

I didn’t read these articles, but a quick search found:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/non-javac-compilers.h

I would think Eclipse must have an interface for plugging in compilers,
but it could be very heavy.
