Compiling javac

Aug 08 2005, 05:36:05 PM PDT »Java»Compiler Comments [2]
You can now easily build javac using a new ant build file I added to Mustang in b47. Go to make/sun/javac/ant and type ant to build the compiler. This creates ../../../../build/shared/classes which you can place on the "bootstrap" class path when running javac: 
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/bin/javac -J-Xbootclasspath/p:../../../../build/shared/classes

So far there are only two useful targets:

compile
Compile javac and all clients (javadoc and apt)
clean
Remove any output from the compile target

I use ant version 1.6.5 which comes with NetBeans 4.2

UPDATE: b47 is now available for download.

Hi Peter, I'm looking for a "java representation of java"... Which would basically parse a java source file and build up a java object model of the source. Before I try and download the 6 source code and sign up to licenses, does the compiler employ such a model (I suspect not because of the needless intermediate object creation)? Do you know of any open-source projects that have this type of model (and are detachable from their parent project!)? I don't have a lot of time and my progress on my own version is slow and has suffered due to other project commitments. Hope you can help! Gary
