Can I bundle a complete jdk with my install4j installation?

Question

My application needs to do some compilation as part of the install process (I know this is bad form, but there it is).

Answer 1

For compiling, I would simply add lib/tools.jar from the JDK to the distribution tree and add it to the classpath of the launcher. Then you can programatically compile classes.

A more lightweight solution would be to use janino.
