Yes. I believe K2JVMCompiler will satisfy your needs.

I don't believe you will find much documentation for it though. The best place to start would probably be in Kotlin's own smoke tests which use the class.

You can find a sample of using the Kotlin compiler within the Kobalt build system. See this file here: github.com/cbeust/kobalt/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/com/beust/…

Also, note that K2MVCompiler does not support incremental compilation just yet, this is only supported in IDEA (and soon Gradle I hear).
