| 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> |
