how would i compile and execute a java program in a scala program?

Question

So im trying to test two java programs and if they have the same output, and I want to do this within scala. So how would i do this within scala, should i use the java runtime library or is there one in scala?

Answer 1

You can use the JavaCompiler API. Or, simpler, just run javac in an external process, as @zapl's comment says.
