A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I want added an option to the javac, such that it is
possble to stop a compilation before 100 errors have been
reported.

A situation with plenty of errors, may occur when I try to
add a lot of classes into my environment. Then it is a
nuisance, having to wait for maybe 25 seconds, to let the
compilation stop. (I cannot easily break the compile inside
my environment)

An option like this will do : -maxerrors 25

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Compile a java source containing more than 100 errors
2.
3.

This bug can be reproduced always.
