runtime class mirors means what? Parsing the jars and class files?

Yes, just like javac loads classes into an internal "mirror "
representation, that's what you would need to do in Groovy. Mirah's
compiler also does this, since it's sketchy to load classes via
reflection just to do compiles.

and you have the class/jar parsing part exclusively? You don't compile against runtime generated classes?

And if class loaders is all I have, how to get the classes and jars I am supposed to compile against? This is a difference to javac, since there you give the paths. Of course I can implement that way as well... Only that that means a bigger change of my API, a possibly incompatible one, breaking maybe programs depending on the compiler
