I suspect the number of calls to the JSR APIs (and callbacks for log collection)
would make it impractical to use reflection. Better to either require JDK 6+ to
build (excluding these classes on earlier JDKs), possibly putting it in a
separate source tree; or create a set of stub classes for the subset of the JSR
API which is needed.

Obviously the impl would not be loaded until the existence of a token JSR 199
class had been confirmed.

> 4. it would need tests and documentation; tests that only run on java1.6+

In fact you can run the compiler through JSR 199 on JDK 5, if you get the right
classes from

  http://openjdk.java.net/groups/compiler/

Just a possibility to keep in mind.

> 5. I would not make this the default

I certainly would, for people running JDK 6+. This is the official compiler API
and there is no reason to use a deprecated and unsupported backdoor call when
the API is available.
