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 +

+ + If there are files to be compiled, 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. +
