Compiler API

Are there any plans to provide a standard interface to the binding compiler?

I have come across the need to have programmatic access to JAXB's binding
compiler.
Currently, the two best ways I've found to pull this off are to use XJCTask
or to access
the Driver class directly. Obviously, any current approach is
provider-specific. It would be helpful
if there were some sort of standard interface.

It seems that a similar need has arisen in the core Java community,
evidenced
by the existence of JSR-199 (Java Compiler API).
