Class NetRexxC

public class NetRexxC extends MatchingTask

Compiles NetRexx source files. This task can take the following arguments: Of these arguments, the srcdir argument is required.

When this task executes, it will recursively scan the srcdir looking for NetRexx source files to compile. This task makes its compile decision based on timestamp.

Before files are compiled they and any other file in the srcdir will be copied to the destdir allowing support files to be located properly in the classpath. The reason for copying the source files before the compile is that NetRexxC has only two destinations for classfiles:

  1. The current directory, and,
  2. The directory the source is in (see sourcedir option)

Method Detail

execute

public void execute()
Executes the task - performs the actual compiler call.

init

public void init()
init-Method sets defaults from Properties. That way, when ant is called with arguments like -Dant.netrexxc.verbose=verbose5 one can easily take control of all netrexxc-tasks.

setBinary

public void setBinary(boolean binary)
Set whether literals are treated as binary, rather than NetRexx types

setClasspath

public void setClasspath(String classpath)
Set the classpath used for NetRexx compilation

setComments

public void setComments(boolean comments)
Set whether comments are passed through to the generated java source. Valid true values are "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is false

setCompact

public void setCompact(boolean compact)
Set whether error messages come out in compact or verbose format. Valid true values are "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is false

setCompile

public void setCompile(boolean compile)
Set whether the NetRexx compiler should compile the generated java code Valid true values are "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is true. Setting this flag to false, will automatically set the keep flag to true.

setConsole

public void setConsole(boolean console)
Set whether or not messages should be displayed on the 'console' Valid true values are "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is true.

setCrossref

Whether variable cross references are generated

setDecimal

public void setDecimal(boolean decimal)
Set whether decimal arithmetic should be used for the netrexx code. Binary arithmetic is used when this flag is turned off. Valid true values are "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is true.

setDestDir

public void setDestDir(File destDirName)
Set the destination directory into which the NetRexx source files should be copied and then compiled.
