Description
javax.tools.JavaCompilerTool.run(Writer, JavaFileObject) is very confusing. 
Since run method will retun CompilationTask, to compile again it requires one more run method of CompilationTask, like javax.tools.JavaCompilerTool.run(Writer, JavaFileObject).run().
Comments
EVALUATION This should be addressed before shipping Mustang.

SUGGESTED FIX Instead of javax.tools.JavaCompilerTool.run(Writer, JavaFileObject), the method name can be like makeCompilationTask() .. etc
