Info

LWJBCC is a Lightweight Java Batch Code Compiler and acts as a batchfile frontend to javac and jar to make .jars

here's a demo of it

LWJBCCDemo

yes, I use Windows 8.1 btw

it should also work for JFX (JavaFX) but I haven't tested it yet.

Also considering .bat files are just two clicks and you can view the source code I've put this under GPLV3 all I do ask though is to credit me.

also here's the jar that was made

Limitations

unfortunately this 3.01KB-batch-file-that's-a-fronted-for-javac has it's Limitations:

  • no package support, yet. it has package support as of 1.0.1
  • you need a JDK for it to work (General rule of thumb for java compilers)
  • it spits out the .class files into the same directory
  • really just a proof of concept

it does however have it's advantages

Advantages

  • can work with ANY version of java, that's right you can use a Windows 98 SE PC to compile a Java 3 program.
  • click and run, no need for a .cfg file.
  • easy to edit, cause it's a batch file you can just open the file in notepad, edit it and save it as a .bat
