See Interpreter.java in the example package of
ftp://ftp.primaryinterface.com/pub/javacAPI/javacAPI.zip. It provides a
CompilingClassLoader that implements findClass() by using the Eclipse
java compiler to compile source files. By combining this with Rhino's
ability to dynamically use custom classloaders (see
http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/rhino15R4.html "Scripting classes from any
class loader") you should be able to create a Flowscript development
environment that doesn't require the explicit use of javac.

Ok, I understand the point. I've been thinking long ago about a
"CompilingClassLoader", i.e a classloader to which we don't give
.class files, but .java files and that compiles them on the fly and
recompiles them automatically when needed. BeanShell may provide
something similar without needing to write this complex classloader.
Well, we have something for XSP ...don't we?
