> ecj-3.5.jar is a java compiler developed by eclipse by the JDT/core project: http://eclipse.org/jdt/core/index.php
> The eclipse java compiler is commonly used as a drop-in replacement of the JDK's javac tool.
> It has no dependency and is widely used for example by the jsp compiler "jasper".
> The 2005 version is named core-3.1.1.jar and is currently distributed with all popular app-servers: jetty-hightide, glassfish, jboss etc.
> http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jdt/core/3.1.1/
> ecj-3.5 has multiple advantages over core-3.1.1:
> - up to date, support for producing java-1.6 bytecode if necessary.
> - smaller than core-3.1.1 that comes with a lot of unused eclipse-only classes.
> - when loaded in an OSGi container it does not require eclipse-RCP (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289406)
> jasper now supports ecj-3.5 and will probably recommend using it: https://jsp.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13
