Creating a Java Class using source code in a string

Question

I have a String which contains the source code of an entire java class. My intention is to create a new class in another project folder using the code in this String. All this is to be done by code, not manually.

Is this possible in Java?

Answer 1

Since you are using String , I'm assuming you are talking about a class in Java source code form. If you are targeting JRE 1.6 or higher, you can use the JavaCompiler interface for turning this source code into a compiled Java class.

See Java API documentation .
