Evaluation of java assignments

Hi,

I was looking for engines to evaluate java assignments. This should ideally be open source.

Thanks,

Could you define what you mean by "evaluate java assignments"? Do you mean like

[CODE=Java]x=13;
y=3*x-1;[/CODE]

By grading of java assignments, i mean to test the code given by the student and to assign a grade to the assignment.

What sort of criteria would such an evaluator use? How effective do you think such a program could be? How likely is it that I an such a computer program ;-)

The criteria could be the execution of the code, programming style or passing some user defined test cases.
I see what you mean although a teacher correcting the code does not really know if the code actually works or not and it is not a viable option to execute all the programs. An automatic evaluation engine would reduce the correction part and possibly be uniform?
