It took a while to get it right. -I needed a Java wrapper class to call out to the Main object on the compiler. I took after Specs2Runner. -Even then, zinc kept failing missing scala.reflect packages. This was very weird since the classpath definitely contained those classes. I eventually found out that zinc plays with the classloader and takes several arguments: -scala-library, -scala-compiler, and a new one, -scala-extra. (https://github.com/typesafehub/zinc <https://github.com/typesafehub/zinc> gave it away). Adding -scala-extra, pointing at the scala-reflect jar fixed the issue.
