| 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: | |
| </p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Allow invocation of a compiler from a program using | |
| standardized interfaces.</li> | |
| <li>Provide interfaces enabling the compiler to report diagnostics in a | |
| structured way.</li> | |
| <li>Provide interfaces enabling clients of the compiler to override | |
| how file objects are found. "File objects" is a file | |
| abstraction.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
