Which compiler is currently used in android to compile Java to .class files after D8 dexer was introduced?

Question

After Jack compiler was deprecated and D8 was introduced where the java -> .class files part was separated again (unlike jack where it happened in a single step), is the Oracle Java SE javac compiler being used for compilation again?
