FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
when you compile with a corrupted jar and a annotation processor in the class path the javac command does not exit with a error code(error code 0). If you just compile with a corrupted jar in the classpath the javac command exits with a error code of 1. So for some reason having a annotation processor causes it to not return a correct error code.

This issue was caught because our ant scripts returns successfully but our jar files had class files in them.

I have also posted it on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35481375/javac-returning-incorrect-error-code-with-annotation-processor

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
javac -cp annotationProcessor.jar;corruptedJar.jar HelloWorld.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
it should error out with a error code of 1
ACTUAL -
it does not error out it just returns error code of 0 which means it was successful. But there are no generated class files.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
> javac -cp annotationProcessor.jar;corruptedJar.jar HelloWorld.java
error: error reading corruptedJar.jar; error in opening zip file
Using Test AnnotationProcessor
> echo %errorlevel%
0

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
