I want to build an application on windows azure platform that will have minimal compilation powers for the java language.
Is it possible to integrate a java compiler in such an application?
If not, is there an alternate way to do it?
Thank you in advance.
Scott Golightly has a video on running Java on Azure – so you’d just need to follow similar steps to get the JDK installed, and then run the compiler from your code.
Of course if you can find a Java compiler implemented in .NET, that would be simpler as there’s better tooling for .NET deployment. One option may be to run IKVM.NET which implements the Java environment within .NET.
