This should be possible, but it would be *very* slow compared to running this compiler in the same VM. VM boot is time consuming (about 2 or 3 sec.) and can be greater than time to compile. For small projects you can run faster by disabling JIT because in these situations boot time is greater than the amount of time saved with JIT. -- +---------------------------+--------------------------------+ | Michel CASABIANCA | http://www.sdv.fr/pages/casa | | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Articles sur Java et XML | | D�veloppement Java et XML | Applications et Applets de Jeu | +---------------------------+--------------------------------+
