There are not much info, some are gather in this page:
http://openjdk.java.net/groups/compiler/

There are small tutorials:
http://www.ahristov.com/tutorial/java-compiler.html

But it's not sufficient, so you have to checkout the source :(
the SVN repository is located here:
https://openjdk.dev.java.net/svn/openjdk/jdk/trunk/langtools

If the changes you have planed to introduce can interrest other people,
you provide it as a branch of the kitchen sink language (after code review).

cheers,
Rémi

PS: ping jonathan, please, update the ksl source tree to use langtools 
workspace.
