Android can load dex classes at runtime

so it should work in theory.

http://source.android.com/tech/dalvik/dex-format.html but I don't know
if this is an official documentation from Google. Tho, it's probably
easiest to generate .class files and then pipe them through dx (or
whatever the name of the jvm-to-dex tools is).
