DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: DSL with jdk?

Hi everyone,
for my courses in Java-Programming I'd like to show the DSL "embedded" - Version to my class. We have no way to boot from a Live-CD, so a Linux-in-a-Box is perfect for me.
No problem, if the DSL had more than 50MB ... I wish I knew a way to implement some developing tools and of course the jdk into this Linux. How can I?
Thanks in advance, Tom.

We can only offer the jre as Java is not open source and there are restrictions on distributing the full development system. If the Java jdk installs self contained into a single directory then it may be possible to make a simple .tar.gz of it as your own extension.

eh? java has been here for 10 years, wasn't it suppose to solve all this? :laugh:

Java may be a multi-platform lang/environment but this does not mean that the development kit is freely distributable.

But I agree, it should be possible to create your own personal MyDSL extension by using the development kit binary installer and create a *.dsl or maybe even a *.tar.gz or *.uci if you can get it to install into /opt
