Please don't. We already struggle with dependencies and quite frankly: I'd prefer programming java 6, if I can use standard tools, instead of relying on some random entity, that could go away anytime. ecj also has backporting functions, but even then, there is a reason, that the core JDK javac does not do it. IMHO we already have enough work with two javac: OpenJDK javac and nbjavac, we don't need the pain of two more tool chains (ecj + frgaal). IMHO2: we only gain syntactic sugar.
