Antoine Toulme commented on BUILDR-317:
---------------------------------------

The ecj jar is here: http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jdt/core/compiler/ecj/3.5.1/

Let me see if I can get a better integration for it.

> The ECJ compiler is an advanced Java compiler that works on top of javac.
> It brings a lot of functionality built-in:
> -better error report (better indentation of the message)
> -better warnings (warnings for source code target VM for example, type casting)
> -more errors reported: the compiler doesn't stop after 100 errors, it will bring all the errors and warnings reported.
> The compiler passes all the javac specs. I added an attempt to check the output generated, but since it is made from Java, I can't control it as of now (see my post on the users mailing list for an idea on how to help with it).
