Comments
Out for review -- Goldilocks and the three launching mechanisms... She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. java.util.spi.ToolProvider (8169821) has a severe impedance mismatch: the use of Writers, no InputStream, and no flexibility. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. javax.tools.ToolProvider (8170044) would require significant changes that are not possible at this time, it is limited, and is old mechanism. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep. jdk.jshell.tool (8170162) provides a matching, clean, and configurable launching mechanism Please review...
