Ha ha.  You can't win the Java game in "hard mode" without dealing with the
classloader bosses. ;)

It took a while to get it right.

-I needed a Java wrapper class to call out to the Main object on the compiler. 
I took after Specs2Runner.
-Even then, zinc kept failing missing scala.reflect packages. This was very 
weird since the classpath definitely contained those classes.
I eventually found out that zinc plays with the classloader and takes several 
arguments: -scala-library, -scala-compiler, and a new one, -scala-extra. 
(https://github.com/typesafehub/zinc  gave 
it away).
Adding -scala-extra, pointing at the scala-reflect jar fixed the issue.

Cheers,

Antoine

 Zinc's last release was about a month ago (July 3rd);  I think you might
 have been looking at older artifacts / older organization in maven2

 No biggie, just mentioning it.
