Hey Toby:
Janino api include classes that are not supported by the app-engine. All I
did is commented out the code that the app-engine didn't like in janino and
repackaged it.

I did the following:

   - Downloaded the source for janino:
   http://www.janino.net/download/janino-2.5.15.zip
   - I've created a new Google Web Project in Eclipse
   - I've copied the source into the Google Web Project
   - Than I've *unsafely* commented out code that was not supported by the
   Google app-engine
   - Repackaged the edited code into a new jar and deployed it with my
   project instead of the original one
   - The simple proof of concept seams to work

As you can see at the simple demo: http://ask-me.appspot.com/ the code seams
to work. Hope you manage to complete this question :)

Cheers,
Albert Attard
