Can we integrate java compiler in an azure application?

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开发者_运维知识库 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.
