I've just completed an initial implementation: https://github.com/ebourg/tomcat/commit/1272a1b I tested with Java 8 and 10 on Windows and it worked fine with the JSP examples shipped with Tomcat. It allowed me to use the new 'var' syntax with Java 10. Unlike ECJ the javax.tools API cannot take an existing ClassLoader but expects a list of files. So it is probably slower, and I guess it doesn't support non unpacked war files. The javax.tools API also requires the JDK (the JRE has the API but not the underlying implementation). So this compiler is quite equivalent to the Ant based compiler, but at least it doesn't require an additional jar.
