JZOS runs "java", not "javac", so you would have to use BPXBATCH to run
javac.
It turns out that "javac" (the java compiler command) is really just a
front end to Java that runs the "com.sun.tools.javac.Main" class from
$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar. So, it is possible to use JZOS to run the
compiler class. See this for more information:

However, most of us that do mainframe java development *never* compile
under z/OS.
It is just much easier to compile and build jars with a workstation IDE
and then upload the jars to z/OS to run. The redbook that you
reference shows some example Ant scripts that can be used to automate
creating and uploading jars.

I have been going thru all the examples for JZOS including the new ones
given in the new alphaWorks edition and have not yet seen an example of
running the java compiler with JZOS. I tried it and got alot of errors.
Can the java compiler be run with JZOS or only BPXBATCH?
