Like

String r = SomeThing.toExecString("new Object().toString()");

And when executed the value of r would be:

"new Object().toString() = java.lang.Object@c5e3974"

Is this even possible at all? Would it need a bunch of reflection? A built in compiler maybe?

AFAIK, this is not possible with regular Java.

The closest thing I could get is IDE support like in IDEA with the "macro" soutv+tab that prints:

before

Hit taband type the expression

after

The IDE types the rest for you.

But that's quite another completely thing.
