[jira] Commented: (MNG-1214) Build Maven2 on free java SDK

["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1214?page=comments#action_48676 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MNG-1214:
-----------------------------------

shouldn't GCJ implement that class? AFAIK that is the standard API for accessing a javac-like compiler.

Anyway, we should definitely have other alternatives in the bootstrap. We could probably download the plexus compilers we use instead of having one hardcoded in the bootstrap

> It would make maven2 more "GNU Classpath" friendly if there is less flexibility in maven 2 bootstraping ode.
> For example in maven-mboot2/src/main/java/compile/JavacCompiler.java, the class "com.sun.tools.javac.Main" is hardcoded. This result in a NullPointerException when trying to build maven2 with GCJ.
