It looks like it's by design:
compile.el, at line 911:
;; Make compilation buffer read-only. The filter can still write
it.
;; Clear out the compilation buffer.
(let ((inhibit-read-only t)
So should external code (ie JDEE) use this 'filter'? And what's the
rationale behind inhibit-read-only, I wonder?
