34 The Java™ programming language compiler API is a set of interfaces that describes the
35 functions provided by a compiler. This API has three
36 main objectives:
37 </p>
39 <ul>
41 <li>Allow invocation of a compiler from a program using
42 standardized interfaces.</li>
44 <li>Provide interfaces enabling the compiler to report diagnostics in a
45 structured way.</li>
47 <li>Provide interfaces enabling clients of the compiler to override
48 how file objects are found. "File objects" is a file
49 abstraction.</li>
51 </ul>
