<p>
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>
