The JSR199 compiler has some drawbacks : - It requires a full JDK (the Eclipse compiler just needs a JRE). This will be less of an issue in the future since there is no JRE anymore after Java 8. - It doesn't reuse an existing classloader, it builds its classpath from a list of files. I haven't checked if it works with non-expanded war files, but I guess it doesn't. And it's probably slower (but that may be negligible compared to the compilation time). - I'm not sure about the performance, ECJ was known to be faster than javac in the past but I don't know if it's still true today. So no I don't think it can replace the Eclipse compiler yet. > 2. Why would anyone use the JavacCompiler in preference to JSR199Complier? The JSR199 compiler will indeed render the Ant based one obsolete. It'll make javac directly usable without the Ant dependency.
