need some help in JAVA programming

[krcs]

good day...

i am in need of advice and help regarding the java compiler and
interpreter.

i am currently working on a project (a simple tutoring system in
java). i wanted to know and/or learn a way on how to include the java
compiler and interpreter within the program i am developing right now.
for example i have two buttons, one that compiles and one that runs a
pre-defined program.

is there any code, way(s) or method(s) that makes this possible?

thanks in advance...

you can use Runtime class for such tasks(I am sure,though did not run a java command using this)

Runtime process = Runtime.getRunTime().exec("javac className.java >ouput.log");

something along those lines, I did not text the code.It should run the javac command(to compile the code) and then it should put the out put in the output.log file.Which you can read by File object etc..etc..

You might want to check out the source of Robocode, which does something similar to what you're wanting to do.
