|
|---|
| 12 | <h3>Description</h3>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>Compiles a Java source tree.</p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <p>The source and destination directory will be recursively scanned for Java
|
|---|
| 15 | source files to compile. Only Java files that have no corresponding
|
|---|
| 16 | <code>.class</code> file
|
|---|
| 17 | or where the class file is older than the
|
|---|
| 18 | <code>.java</code> file will be compiled.</p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <p>Note: Ant uses only the names of the source and class files to find
|
|---|
| 20 | the classes that need a rebuild. It will not scan the source and therefore
|
|---|
| 21 | will have no knowledge about nested classes, classes that are named different
|
|---|
| 22 | from the source file, and so on. See the
|
|---|
| 23 | <a href="../OptionalTasks/depend.html"><code><depend></code></a> task
|
|---|
| 24 | for dependency checking based on other than just
|
|---|
| 25 | existence/modification times.</p>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>When the source files are part of a package, the directory structure of
|
|---|
| 27 | the source tree should follow the package
|
|---|
| 28 | hierarchy.</p>
|
|---|
| 29 | <p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being compiled.
|
|---|
| 30 | This can be done with the <code>includes</code>, <code>includesfile</code>,
|
|---|
| 31 | <code>excludes</code>, and <code>excludesfile</code>
|
|---|
| 32 | attributes. With the <code>includes</code> or
|
|---|
| 33 | <code>includesfile</code> attribute, you specify the files you want to
|
|---|
| 34 | have included.
|
|---|
| 35 | The <code>exclude</code> or <code>excludesfile</code> attribute is used
|
|---|
| 36 | to specify
|
|---|
| 37 | the files you want to have excluded. In both cases, the list of files
|
|---|
| 38 | can be specified by either the filename, relative to the directory(s) specified
|
|---|
| 39 | in the <code>srcdir</code> attribute or nested <code><src></code>
|
|---|
| 40 | element(s), or by using wildcard patterns. See the section on
|
|---|
| 41 | <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory-based tasks</a>,
|
|---|
| 42 | for information on how the
|
|---|
| 43 | inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write wildcard patterns.</p>
|
|---|
| 44 | <p>It is possible to use different compilers. This can be specified by
|
|---|
| 45 | either setting the global <code>build.compiler</code> property, which will
|
|---|
| 46 | affect all <code><javac></code> tasks throughout the build, or by
|
|---|
| 47 | setting the <code>compiler</code> attribute, specific to the current
|
|---|
| 48 | <code><javac></code> task.
|
|---|
| 49 | <a name="compilervalues">Valid values for either the
|
|---|
| 50 | <code>build.compiler</code> property or the <code>compiler</code>
|
|---|
| 51 | attribute are:</a></p>
|
|---|
| 52 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 53 | <li><code>classic</code> (the standard compiler of JDK 1.1/1.2) –
|
|---|
| 54 | <code>javac1.1</code> and
|
|---|
| 55 | <code>javac1.2</code> can be used as aliases.</li>
|
|---|
| 56 | <li><code>modern</code> (the standard compiler of JDK 1.3/1.4/1.5) –
|
|---|
| 57 | <code>javac1.3</code> and
|
|---|
| 58 | <code>javac1.4</code> and
|
|---|
| 59 | <code>javac1.5</code> can be used as aliases.</li>
|
|---|
| 60 | <li><code>jikes</code> (the <a
|
|---|
| 61 | href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/" target="_top">Jikes</a>
|
|---|
| 62 | compiler).</li>
|
|---|
| 63 | <li><code>jvc</code> (the Command-Line Compiler from Microsoft's SDK
|
|---|
| 64 | for Java / Visual J++) – <code>microsoft</code> can be used
|
|---|
| 65 | as an alias.</li>
|
|---|
| 66 | <li><code>kjc</code> (the <a href="http://www.dms.at/kopi/" target="_top">kopi</a>
|
|---|
| 67 | compiler).</li>
|
|---|
| 68 | <li><code>gcj</code> (the gcj compiler from gcc).</li>
|
|---|
| 69 | <li><code>sj</code> (Symantec java compiler) –
|
|---|
| 70 | <code>symantec</code> can be used as an alias.</li>
|
|---|
| 71 | <li><code>extJavac</code> (run either modern or classic in a JVM of
|
|---|
| 72 | its own).</li>
|
|---|
| 73 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 74 | <p>The default is <code>javac1.x</code> with <code>x</code> depending
|
|---|
| 75 | on the JDK version you use while you are running Ant.
|
|---|
| 76 | If you wish to use a different compiler interface than those
|
|---|
| 77 | supplied, you can write a class that implements the CompilerAdapter interface
|
|---|
| 78 | (<code>package org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers</code>). Supply the full
|
|---|
| 79 | classname in the <code>build.compiler</code> property or the
|
|---|
| 80 | <code>compiler</code> attribute.
|
|---|
| 81 | </p>
|
|---|
| 82 | <p>The fork attribute overrides the <code>build.compiler</code> property
|
|---|
| 83 | or <code>compiler</code> attribute setting and
|
|---|
| 84 | expects a JDK1.1 or higher to be set in <code>JAVA_HOME</code>.
|
|---|
| 85 | </p>
|
|---|
| 86 | <p>You can also use the <code>compiler</code> attribute to tell Ant
|
|---|
| 87 | which JDK version it shall assume when it puts together the command
|
|---|
| 88 | line switches - even if you set <code>fork="true"</code>.
|
|---|
| 89 | This is useful if you want to run the compiler of JDK 1.1 while you
|
|---|
| 90 | current JDK is 1.2+. If you use
|
|---|
| 91 | <code>compiler="javac1.1"</code> and (for example)
|
|---|
| 92 | <code>depend="true"</code> Ant will use the command line
|
|---|
| 93 | switch <code>-depend</code> instead of <code>-Xdepend</code>.</p>
|
|---|
| 94 | <p>This task will drop all entries that point to non-existent
|
|---|
| 95 | files/directories from the classpath it passes to the compiler.</p>
|
|---|
| 96 | <p><strong>Windows Note:</strong>When the modern compiler is used
|
|---|
| 97 | in unforked mode on Windows, it locks up the files present in the
|
|---|
| 98 | classpath of the <code><javac></code> task, and does not release them.
|
|---|
| 99 | The side effect of this is that you will not be able to delete or move
|
|---|
| 100 | those files later on in the build. The workaround is to fork when
|
|---|
| 101 | invoking the compiler.</p>

|
|---|
| 480 |
|
|---|
| 481 | <p>If you want to run the javac compiler of a different JDK, you
|
|---|
| 482 | should tell Ant, where to find the compiler and which version of JDK
|
|---|
| 483 | you will be using so it can choose the correct command line switches.
|
|---|
| 484 | The following example executes a JDK 1.1 javac in a new process and
|
|---|
| 485 | uses the correct command line switches even when Ant is running in a
|
|---|
| 486 | Java VM of a different version:</p>
|
|---|
| 487 |
|
|---|
| 488 | <pre> <javac srcdir="${src}"
|
|---|
| 489 | destdir="${build}"
|
|---|
| 490 | fork="yes"
|
|---|
| 491 | executable="/opt/java/jdk1.1/bin/javac"
|
|---|
| 492 | compiler="javac1.1"
|
|---|
| 493 | /></pre>
|
|---|
| 494 |
|
|---|
| 495 | <p><a name="srcdirnote"><b>Note:</b></a>
|
|---|
| 496 | If you wish to compile only source files located in certain packages below a
|
|---|
| 497 | common root, use the <code>include</code>/<code>exclude</code> attributes
|
|---|
| 498 | or <code><include></code>/<code><exclude></code> nested elements
|
|---|
| 499 | to filter for these packages. Do not include part of your package structure
|
|---|
| 500 | in the <code>srcdir</code> attribute
|
|---|
| 501 | (or nested <code><src></code> elements), or Ant will recompile your
|
|---|
| 502 | source files every time you run your compile target. See the
|
|---|
| 503 | <a href="http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#always-recompiles">Ant FAQ</a>
|
|---|
| 504 | for additional information.</p>
|
|---|
| 505 |
|
|---|
| 506 | <p>
|
|---|
| 507 | If you wish to compile only files explicitly specified and disable
|
|---|
| 508 | javac's default searching mechanism then you can unset the sourcepath
|
|---|
| 509 | attribute:
|
|---|
| 510 | <pre> <javac sourcepath="" srcdir="${src}"
|
|---|
| 511 | destdir="${build}" >
|
|---|
| 512 | <include name="**/*.java" />
|
|---|
| 513 | <exclude name="**/Example.java" />
|
|---|
| 514 | </javac></pre>
|
|---|
| 515 | That way the javac will compile all java source files under "${src}"
|
|---|
| 516 | directory but skip the examples. The compiler will even produce errors if some of
|
|---|
| 517 | the non-example files refers to them.
|
|---|
| 518 | </p>
|
|---|
| 519 |
|
|---|
| 520 | <p><b>Note:</b> If you are using Ant on Windows and a new DOS window pops up
|
|---|
| 521 | for every use of an external compiler, this may be a problem of the JDK you are
|
|---|
| 522 | using. This problem may occur with all JDKs < 1.2.</p>

|

| 527 | the properties shown below prior to invoking the task. The setting
|
|---|
| 528 | for each property will be in affect for all <code><javac></code>
|
|---|
| 529 | tasks throughout the build.
|
|---|
| 530 | The Ant developers are aware that
|
|---|
| 531 | this is ugly and inflexible – expect a better solution in the future.
|
|---|
| 532 | All the options are boolean, and must be set to <code>true</code> or
|
|---|
| 533 | <code>yes</code> to be
|
|---|
| 534 | interpreted as anything other than false. By default,
|
|---|
| 535 | <code>build.compiler.warnings</code> is <code>true</code>,
|
|---|
| 536 | while all others are <code>false</code>.</p>
