Can I use MPS to create a compiler?
I need to compile some files from my DSL into Java (and then to java bytecode) can MPS help me create that compiler? If yes, will there be a command line compiler or only IDE?

Of course, this is the core function of MPS.
The only limitation - your DLS must not be text-based. I mean, the only editor for your DSL should be MPS editor itself (which it the best editor I know).
Anything else is doeable, including ant-script support.
BTW, MPS calls this kind of compilation with other word, generation.
Hey, I have the same problem.
I want to create an independent compiler that allow me to use a command like "dslc xxx.dsl" to convert the dsl into java or other hosted-language.
Can I and How?
In order to run MPS from the command line, you need to employ the build language to create And scripts - https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/MPSD33/Build+Language
