What target environment should I use to compile android Camera app code?

Question

I am a .NEt developer but recently i am having to deal with some android /java code. I downloaded Android OS's camera app source code from following location:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Camera

Now, I am having these files on my Windows 7 machine. When I do a simple search of "How to compile android apk code on windows" most of the searches result in saying that it is very non trivial and I need Mac or Unix machine for it.

Now, Looks like this is all bunch of java files. But I am not sure what should b emy target environment to try to compile all these files?
