javax.tools




The Java™ programming language compiler API is a set of interfaces that describes the
functions provided by a compiler.  This API has three
main objectives:




Allow invocation of a compiler from a program using
standardized interfaces.

Provide interfaces enabling the compiler to report diagnostics in a
structured way.

Provide interfaces enabling clients of the compiler to override
how file objects are found.  "File objects" is a file
abstraction.
