    34 The Java&trade; programming language compiler API is a set of interfaces that describes the
       
    35 functions provided by a compiler.  This API has three
       
    36 main objectives:

    38 
       
    39 <ul>
       
    40 
       
    41 <li>Allow invocation of a compiler from a program using
       
    42 standardized interfaces.</li>
       
    43 
       
    44 <li>Provide interfaces enabling the compiler to report diagnostics in a
       
    45 structured way.</li>
       
    46 
       
    47 <li>Provide interfaces enabling clients of the compiler to override
       
    48 how file objects are found.  "File objects" is a file
       
    49 abstraction.</li>
