    Description

      Using JDK's built-in Java-Compiler API has some advantages over javassist.

      Although compilation feels a bit slower, Java compiler API has some advantages:

      • boxing + unboxing works
      • generics work
      • compiler error messages are better (or at least known) and have line/column numbers

      The implementation does not use any temp files. Everything's in memory.

      Patch attached to this issue.
