Returns the Java™ programming language compiler provided with this platform.

The file manager returned by calling getStandardFileManager on this compiler supports paths provided by any filesystem.

Returns:the compiler provided with this platform or null if no compiler is provided
Implementation Note:This implementation returns the compiler provided by the jdk.compiler module if that module is available, and null otherwise.

Returns the Java™ programming language documentation tool provided with this platform.

The file manager returned by calling getStandardFileManager on this tool supports paths provided by any filesystem.

Returns:the documentation tool provided with this platform or null if no documentation tool is provided
Implementation Note:This implementation returns the tool provided by the jdk.javadoc module if that module is available, and null otherwise.

Returns a class loader that may be used to load system tools, or null if no such special loader is provided.
Implementation Requirements:This implementation always returns null.
Deprecated:This method is subject to removal in a future version of Java SE. Use the system tool provider or service loader mechanisms to locate system tools as well as user-installed tools.
Returns:a class loader, or null

@Deprecated(since="9") public static ClassLoader getSystemToolClassLoader() { return null; }
Get an instance of a system tool using the service loader.
Params:
  • clazz – the interface of the tool
  • moduleName – the name of the module containing the desired implementation
  • className – the class name of the desired implementation
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the interface of the tool
Implementation Note: By default, this returns the implementation in the specified module. For limited backward compatibility, if this code is run on an older version of the Java platform that does not support modules, this method will try and create an instance of the named class. Note that implies the class must be available on the system class path.
Returns:the specified implementation of the tool

Determine if this is the desired tool instance.
