Because jasper-compiler-jdt.jar is the Eclipse compiler. We shouldn't
duplicate code.
I agree that it shouldn't be a hard dependency though. There should probably
be an alternative dependency on an appropriate virtual package.
Moreover ecj-bootstrap should really be used as a bootstrap compiler only.
From the package description:
"This bootstrap version should be used for uploading initial versions of
packages which are a dependency of Eclipse and build with ECJ."
Either the decsription should be fixed or the package renamed, or replaced
with something more suitable.
