Running some java code inside its own JVM

Question

I got a small question: (How) can I run some java code (preferable a jar) in its own JVM, in best case specifying my own libs. So for example to sandbox all file system access.

What of this stuff is possible, and how?

Do you mean "running some java code" within its own VM started from other Java code ? — Kartoch

yes, I want to run some java code in a sandbox launched and controlled from java — Kilobyte

Its entirely possible. You will have to write the code though. It involves (optionally) writing your own classloader, installing a security manager, and defining a set of policy files. — Perception

To limit access to the file system or any other resource, make use of Java's Security Manager. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/index.html for information on how to configure a policy.
