How to Use a Task Listener in a different process ?

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Anything to do with contexts is internal API, and hopefully you should 
not need to go there.

If you're dealing with the compiler in another process, I'd recommend 
you investigate the -Xplugin option.  With the option, you can register 
a plugin as a service, and request that it be started from the command 
line, with any desired arguments. The plugin will be located on the same 
path(s) used for annotation processors (i.e. -processorpath).  When the 
plugin is invoked, you can create and register task listeners.
