I'd also suggest a sideways glance at

Sure, unfortunately the ticket only has people with strong opinions but
no code attached to it :-)
I'm not sure if Bugzilla could be configured to use different font sizes
to display comments with and without attached code, but it may be worth
a try ;)
One question to ask is what would improve for Ant if we used javax.tools
rather than keep the existing code. We wouldn't easily be able to take
advantage of anything the new API offers that went beyond our own
compiler abstraction without breaking those who implement the current
abstraction (this includes code outside of Ant like the adapter for
Eclipse's ejc).
Fwiw, the Eclipse compiler does support JSR 199:
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftask-using_batch_compiler.htm
. On the other hand, Eclipse does seem to come with its own Ant JDT
Compiler Adapter:
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftask-ant_javac_adapter.htm&cp=1_3_8_1
.
Jonathan and others go into some of the advantages that could be taken
with the JSR APIs on Bugzilla, and the Maven Compiler Plugin seems to
have gone that route by default since 3.0:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/ potentially
leading to performance improvements:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4523 .
