--------------------------------------
Summary: Use the JDK-provided JavaCompiler API instead of the
Eclipse one
Key: SLING-8323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8323
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons
Reporter: Robert Munteanu
Fix For: Commons Compiler 2.3.8
Using the Eclipse compiler API works fine, with two minor caveats:
- the dependency must be upgraded periodically to get support for newer Java
versions
- we need to embed ecj (~2.7M)
Since Java 7 the
[JavaCompiler|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/tools/JavaCompiler.html]
API allows programmatic access to the system java compiler. We should instead
try and use this compiler.
