Loading external source code and using them internally (by re-compiling or something)

You need the javax.tools API for this. Thus, you need to have at least the JDK installed to get it to work (and let your IDE point to it instead of the JRE). Here's a basic kickoff example (without proper exception and encoding handling just to make the basic example less opaque, cough):

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
    String source = "public class Test { static { System.out.println(\"test\"); } }";

    File root = new File("/test");
    File sourceFile = new File(root, "Test.java");
    Writer writer = new FileWriter(sourceFile);
    writer.write(source);
    writer.close();

    JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
    compiler.run(null, null, null, sourceFile.getPath());

    URLClassLoader classLoader = URLClassLoader.newInstance(new URL[] { root.toURI().toURL() });
    Class<?> cls = Class.forName("Test", true, classLoader);
}

This should print test in stdout, as done by the static initializer in the test source code. Further use would be more easy if those classes implements a certain interface which is already in the classpath. Otherwise you need to involve the Reflection API to access and invoke the methods/fields.

In Java 6 or later, you can get access to the compiler through the javax.tools package. ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() will get you a javax.tools.JavaCompiler, which you can configure to compile your source. If you are using earlier versions of Java, you can still get at it through the internal com.sun.tools.javac.Main interface, although it's a lot less flexible.

Java6 has a scripting API. I've used it with Javascript, but I believe you can have it compile external Java code as well.
