Ittay Dror commented on BUILDR-244:
-----------------------------------

the Javac task in ant is implemented so it uses a compiler object. most of these invoke javac through an external command.

> Javac from the J9 vm returns 0 even if there are compilation errors. This means compilation doesn't stop on the first error but continues through the whole build, adding more and more errors making diagnostics very hard.
> some platforms (s390x for example) have only IBM J9 VM.
