JDK-6403465 - javac should defer diagnostics until it can be determined they are persistent
Description
It would help to add more flags to JCDiagnostic. Rather than add booleans one by one, it would be better to replace the existing "boolean mandatory" with a set of flag bits.
Comments
EVALUATION Yes, will support upcoming work to reduce javac diagnostics when annotation processing
