The Eclipse compiler is standalone by design. The project to look at is 'org.eclipse.jdt.core'. You can get it from :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/eclipse There are a lot of directories in this module; the compiler core itself is in 'compiler' and 'batch'. The only dependency these files have is J2SE. (The code outside these directories does depend on the rest of Eclipse, but we would not build that.) In fact we exploit this to build the system 'javac' for Fedora Core. We also are currently building the Eclipse compiler nightly on the Classpath build machine. One minor risk for this project is that the upstream compiler will change this for some reason. However, I don't think that is a very major risk; they've actually been quite interested in what we've done for FC. Also, due to the builder, we'll know the same day that anything breaks :-) Tom
