I am trying to run the TypeScript compiler from my Java application. To start, I am trying to figure out, whether I can run the compiler from command-line without Node.js:
$ jsc tsc.js
But this way I don’t get any errors, nor help.
$ jsc tsc.js myscript.ts
Will get me nowhere.
It is easy to run js code directly from java (and I am hoping to run the compiler in this way), but is it possible to run TypeScript compiler without node.js?
EDIT:
I confirm the same behaviour with rhino.
Looking at the source code, the tsc command invokes a JS script tsc.js, which has 2 backends: Node.js and Windows Scripting Host. If any other JavaScript server supports reading and writing to a file system (like Rhino with RingoJS), it should be able to run the TypeScript compiler tsc.js.
Moreover, there is a fork of TypeScript compiler which claims to directly run on Rhino. So you could invoke Rhino directly from Java, without installing node.js.
