Online java IDE

Its a shame we don't have  a proper online java editor to build full scale web applications in java.

Most of them found only allow you to compile a small code snippet or dont allow you to execute java code for security reasons.

Cant imagine the amount of progress we can make if we have a full fledged online java editor. eg: Imagine we are able to do online development of existing java projects on sourceforge site. Imagine how much code you can produce if development is as simple as opening up a browser and keying in your ideas.. Imagine how many projects u can get involved in simultaneously.


JDK6 has the new in memory as well as runtime compiler API: search JavaCompiler. Not many have taken advantage of it i believe.

Some online ide like options:
compilr - can only compile, not run
ECCO: - looks like an interesting project on SF but abandoned 3 yrs back
ideOnea simple code  compile and run project
