com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main
The normal main entry point is
com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main, with a public API entry
point at com.sun.tools.javac.Main which just calls
down to com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.
The various parts of the compiler share common information by
means of a Context. Every invocation of the compiler
must have its own Context.
com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main does command line
processing to determine the list of files to be compiled, and any
applicable options. There are four types of options:
- standard public options, e.g.
-classpath - extended public options, beginning -X, e.g.
-Xlint - hidden options -- not public or documented, e.g. -fullversion
- even more hidden options -- typically for debugging the compiler, beginning -XD, e.g. -XDrawDiagnostics
Main invokes
JavaCompiler (more...) After
JavaCompiler completes, the list of class symbols that
was returned is discarded.
Any and all exceptions are caught and handled, and a return code is determined. Finally, the compiler exits.
