Answer 1

I don't have source in Java for anything simple. My compilers were written in Pascal and C and weren't simple. I don't have access to them as they were done in 70's. The following is source for a Pascal compiler as it is the simplest I know.

Answer 2

The full source code for the Java compiler is available via web search. However, it is extremely complex and, without a compiler theory course, you will be left confused. I learned compiler theory by reading an existing Pascal compiler. When I eventually took a class, they failed to teach me anything except optimization techniques.

Answer 3

If you have any questions about Pascal or what they are doing ask. Discord would be best as I get hundreds of notifications a day and might miss posts here, but we can continue here.

Answer 4

I am unsure why you linked the advanced programmer post. I've written compiler's before, join us here and we can chat.
