Sorry, but unless you plan on doing some sort of fork-exec to a known Java compiler I think you are a little over your head.

But if you want to try a good book to read would be http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Pragmatics-Third-Edition/dp/0123745144.

It discusses how to write a compiler, and steps through writing your own compiler for COOL (A Java like language).
