All Implemented Interfaces:

GateConstants

public class Eclipse
extends Javac

This class copiles a set of java sources using the JDT compiler from the Eclipse project. Unlike the Sun compiler, this compiler can load dependencies directly from the GATE class loader, which (a) makes it faster, (b) means the compiler will work when GATE is loaded from a classloader other than the system classpath (for example within a Tomcat web application), and (c) allows it to compile code that depends on classes defined in CREOLE plugins, as well as in the GATE core. This is the default compiler for GATE version 3.0.
