After kick-starting the Advanced Java course by discussing how to How to create and destroy objects, how to use methods common to all objects, how to design Classes and Interfaces, how and when to use generics, how to use enums and annotations, how to write methods efficiently, various programming guidelines, how and when to use Exceptions, some concurrency best practices, the Built-in Serialization techniques, How to use Reflection effectively and how to leverage scripting and dynamic languages support in Java, we are now going a step further.

In this lesson we are going to take 10000 feet view of the Java Compiler API. This API provides programmatic access to the Java compiler itself and allows developers to compile Java classes from source files on the fly from application code. We also are going to walk through the Java Compiler Tree API, which provides access to Java syntax parser functionality. By using this API, Java developers have the ability to directly plug into syntax parsing phase and post-analyze Java source code being compiled.
