I'm a little confused as to the issue here. Running the jar tool 
programmatically as a Java program doesn't seem like a big deal, but if 
it is then just run the the jar tool directly (this test is a JDK-only 
test either way); or remove the static dependency with reflection based 
code. Plus the same code still has this dependency:

      static final com.sun.tools.javac.Main javac =
               new com.sun.tools.javac.Main();

so I don't see that anything is being gained at the moment.

Is there a bigger picture that this is part of?

Thanks,
David
