Is it possible to call the javac and the jar tools from inside a Java program?

I would like to a allow a user to specify a .java file and then click a button that would call code to compile the source file and pack the resulting .class file into a jar file.

Can this be done without Runtime.exec("javac " + fileName) etc., and console windows poping up?

Check out the "Ant" source code on Jakarta. You should find compile and jar snippets there.
