The use of Eclipse compiler would not be mandated. If no tool chain or `compilerId` parameter is specified, the plugin uses whatever compiler is returned by `ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler()`. The Eclipse compiler was mentioned only for saying that its use should still be possible. The `JavaCompiler` API seems to have some support for giving the output files with `JavaFileManager.getJavaFileForOutput(StandardLocation.CLASS_OUTPUT, <class name>, JavaFileObject.Kind.CLASS, <source file>)` (I just tested it). However, it does not return the `*.class` files for inner (nested) classes, so some heuristic would still be needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
