Java development tools such as javac cannot be
integrated into a 100% Pure Java development
environment because they call System.exit(),
which, according to the API, "Terminates the
currently running Java Virtual Machine."

There is no compelling technical reason for these
tools to use System.exit(), and the fact that they
do so undermines the possibility of doing real
work within the confines of the Java sandbox.
