I am asking whether it is possible to have a Java program calculate
pieces of Java code and execute them. This may be useful for example
when requiring to read data that may be in many formats. A data format
specific class may be computed on the fly and instantiated, facilitating
the manipulation of the data. This is trivial to do in Lisp.
Is it possible in Java ?
thanks,
Mario Ruggier
