I'm currently trying to compile and execute code at runtime. Everything worked perfectly fine in my IDE (Netbeans), but as soon as I exported my code as a .jar file ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() returned null. Is there a reason why this is working in Netbeans but not in the .jar file?

The compiler is only present in JDKs, not in JREs.

I am aware of that, but is that the reason why it's not working in a .jar? – Joba Dec 09 '14 at 22:19

And it already worked about half a year ago on a different system in a .jar file. – Joba Dec 09 '14 at 22:40
