> In JDK-8297041, the javacserver was moved out of the JDK itself, and lifted out as a separate buildtool. Due to this, internal classes in jdk.compiler were no longer available. Therefore, the closest way to calling javac as before were to use `com.sun.tools.javac.Main.compile()`. This method is however deprecated for removal, and relying on that was only needed as a temporary measure during the transition.

> After the major refactoring of the javacserver tool in JDK-8297444, it will be easy to replace the Main.compile API with the official ToolProvider API instead.
