Funnily enough I agree with Alistair on this one ;-). Requiring a JDK is 
reasonable enough for these very reasons.

It would be cool if we could get the Eclipse JDT compiler of Tomcat 5.5 
to compile Bodington templates. It was the way my thinking was going 
with the CompilerFacade to cater for this (and jikes) but I backed out 
(until such time) such wrappers for these compilers were fully 
implemented. (In the short-term, just wrapping javac with a facade 
seemed like obfuscatory overkill!).
