JDT stands for Java Development Tools and is a subproject of the Eclipse
framework. I looked through the source a bit and it looks like the main
compiler class is org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler. I found the
source in my plugins directory of Eclipse (no additional download needed)
under the directory org.eclipse.jdt.source_2.1.0/src in the jdtcoresrc.zip.
The only problem is that this is an "internal" package which means that
there is neither binary nor api contracts between releases. The Eclipse
project committers seems to tend to try to open the API's to everyone once
they stabilize, so if someone puts a little pressure on them, they might be
willing to move this class out of the internal package.
There is a method in the Compiler class with the signature:
public void compile(ICompilationUnit[] sourceUnits)
This looks like the method that would be most useful. The ICompilationUnit
interface isn't the most basic interface in the world. There are quite a
few methods, but a look through the compiler code may give clues to which
methods are necessary. This interface doesn't really care where your java
code came from so it would definately meet the criteria for an in memory
compiler.
The other obstacle is the constructor to the Compiler class. It requires
quite a few interfaces to be fleshed out. The signature is:
public Compiler(INameEnvironment environment, IErrorHandlingPolicy policy,
Map settings, final ICompilerRequestor requestor, IProblemFactory
problemFactory)
It really doesn't look like this was meant to be used outside of the larger
JDT framework, but might be worth the trouble if other alternatives don't
look so good.

I don't know what JDT is. It was not I who suggested it. The JDT
page says: http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/index.html
The JDT project provides the tool plug-ins that implement a Java IDE
supporting the development of any Java application,
including Eclipse plug-ins. It adds a Java project nature and Java
perspective to the Eclipse Workbench as well as a number of
views, editors, wizards, builders, and code merging and refactoring tools.
The JDT project allows Eclipse to be a development
environment for itself.
Not obviously an in memory compiler, but maybe in there somewhere.
