    - #### getCompiler

          public static CompilerAdapter getCompiler​(java.lang.String compilerType,
                                                    Task task)
                                             throws BuildException

      Based on the parameter passed in, this method creates the necessary factory desired. The current mapping for compiler names are as follows:
      - jikes = jikes compiler
      - classic, javac1.1, javac1.2 = the standard compiler from JDK 1.1/1.2
      - modern, javac1.3, javac1.4, javac1.5 = the compiler of JDK 1.3+
      - jvc, microsoft = the command line compiler from Microsoft's SDK for Java / Visual J++
      - kjc = the kopi compiler
      - gcj = the gcj compiler from gcc
      - sj, symantec = the Symantec Java compiler
      - a fully qualified classname = the name of a compiler adapter
      Parameters:
        `compilerType` - either the name of the desired compiler, or the full classname of the compiler's adapter.
        `task` - a task to log through.
      Returns:
        the compiler adapter
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - if the compiler type could not be resolved into a compiler adapter.

                                                    Task task,
                                                    Path classpath)
                                             throws BuildException

      Based on the parameter passed in, this method creates the necessary factory desired. The current mapping for compiler names are as follows:

      - gcj = the gcj compiler from gcc
      - sj, symantec = the Symantec Java compiler
      - a fully qualified classname = the name of a compiler adapter
      Parameters:
        `compilerType` - either the name of the desired compiler, or the full classname of the compiler's adapter.
        `task` - a task to log through.
        `classpath` - the classpath to use when looking up an adapter class
      Returns:
        the compiler adapter
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - if the compiler type could not be resolved into a compiler adapter.
