Alexander Kriegisch updated MCOMPILER-566: ------------------------------------------ Description: When analysing MCOMPILER-424, at some point I wanted to know what happens if I set {{fork=true}} or {{forceJavacCompilerUse=true}}. The result was bad: No matter if I compile with {{mvn -e -X}} or {{verbose=true}}, I only see a {{CompilationFailureException: Compilation failure}}. There seems to be no way to actually see the underlying root cause. I have to compile in process via Plexus {{JavaxToolsCompiler}} to see the {{AnnotationTypeMismatchException}} from [this comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-424?focusedCommentId=17797351&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17797351]. It is not helpful to know _that_ compilation failed, but not _why_. was: When analysing MCOMPILER-424, at some point I wanted to know what happens if I set {{fork=true}} or {{forceJavacCompilerUse=true}}.
