Class Javac

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, SelectorContainer
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    Apt


    public class Javac
    extends MatchingTask
    Compiles Java source files. This task can take the following arguments:
    • sourcedir
    • destdir
    • deprecation
    • classpath
    • bootclasspath
    • extdirs
    • optimize
    • debug
    • encoding
    • target
    • depend
    • verbose
    • failonerror
    • includeantruntime
    • includejavaruntime
    • source
    • compiler
    • release
    Of these arguments, the sourcedir and destdir are required.

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

    Since:
    Ant 1.1
