Java-Runtime-Compiler
=====================
This takes a String, compiles it and loads it returning you a class from what you built.
By default it uses the current ClassLoader. It supports nested classes, but otherwise builds one class at a time.
## On maven central
You can include in your project with
<dependency>
<groupId>net.openhft</groupId>
<artifactId>compiler</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1</version>
</dependency>
You can find the latest version here [maven search for net.openhft:compiler](http://search.maven.org/#browse%7C842970587)
## Simple example
You need a CachedCompiler and access to your JDK's tools.jar.
// dynamically you can call
String className = "mypackage.MyClass";
String javaCode = "package mypackage;\n" +
"public class MyClass implements Runnable {\n" +
" public void run() {\n" +
" System.out.println("\"Hello World\");\n" +
" }\n" +
"}\n";
Class aClass = CompilerUtils.CACHED_COMPILER.loadFromJava(className, javaCode);
Runnable runner = (Runnable) aClass.newInstance();
runner.run();
I suggest making you class implement a KnownInterface of your choice as this will allow you to call/manipulate instances of you generated class.
Another more hacky way is to use this to override a class, provided it hasn't been loaded already.
This means you can redefine an existing class and provided the methods and fields used match,
you have compiler redefine a class and code already compiled to use the class will still work.
## Using the CachedCompiler.
In this example, you can configure the compiler to write the files to a speicifc directory when you are in debug mode.
private static final CachedCompiler JCC = CompilerUtils.DEBUGGING ?
new CachedCompiler(new File(parent, "src/test/java"), new File(parent, "target/compiled")) :
CompilerUtils.CACHED_COMPILER;
By selecting the src directory to match where your IDE looks for those files, it will allow your debugger to set into code you have generated at runtime.
Note: you may need to delete these files if you want to regenerate them.
