Description
The message for a diagnostic available via the JSR 199 API does not currently include the source line. That is added specially by Log.  This is for the convenience of IDEs, who probably don't want to include the source line, but it does not work well for batch clients, such as JCK. 

javac should provide an option for either behavior.

EVALUATION Will do. This is indeed quite trivial; I just have to move the code for printing error line from Log to AbstractDiagnosticFormatter!
