Java 5.0 Compiler API?

Question

Is there a Java 5.0 equivalent to the Java 6.0 Compiler API? I'm trying to compile and jar some XmlBean schemas at runtime.

maybe you need to look into those class generation libs: cglib, javaassit etc — Dapeng

You can write the files to disk and call javac using System.exec()

~~Perhaps~~ its time to updated to Java 6 or 7.

I'm tempted to edit this answer to add a <strike>-tag around "Perhaps" ;-)

I think it is to soon to switch to 7.

I have been watching the developer mail-list for Java 8 and have been tempted to give it a go. ;)

The scheduled proposed final draft (read beta) is May 2012, about seven months way. jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=337

@MisterSmith: that might be (depending on your development schedule and when you plan to deploy), but I've seen far to many projects still held back on 1.4.2.
