Yes, I am TRYING to do that. But I am failing miserably. There are NO EXAMPLES on how to do this; there is only Javadoc on the API itself (with very little extra explanatory text).
OK, maybe I am not being specific enough here. Here is the java code that I have written that attempts to compile a "Hello, world" java file: http://home.attbi.com/~theriddells/CompileIt.java And here are the results that I get: http://home.attbi.com/~theriddells/results.txt (Sorry for the links, I felt they were too long to be directly quoted here.)
