Utility for compiling java files with options.

i want to create a utility application in java which can compile a java source file with options like -d , -classpath,-help etc.
there is a java.lang.Compiler class which can be used to compile a source file but how can i supply compile time options?
help.

Is this an interview question? An intellectual exercise to see if you can do it?
Why do you want to do this when there is already a freely available utility, javac, that can already do all of that?
Please provide more information and a sample user session that shows what you are really trying to accomplish.
And the class you mentioned is not really for the purpose you say you want

The Compiler class is provided to support Java-to-native-code compilers and related services. By design, the Compiler class does nothing; it serves as a placeholder for a JIT compiler implementation.

Cannot compile Java files or create Java Project

Hi,
I cannot compile java files and also didn't see any option
for creating java project using flex 2 builder.
Actually am trying to create a FDS project with an option to
compile on the server. I am using Weblogic 8.1 SP5 as my server.
thank you

hi
this is may jvm.config file. Can anyone tell me if it is
right because all the fields are blank.
# VM configuration
# Where to find JVM, if {java.home}/jre exists then that JVM
is used
# if not then it must be the path to the JRE itself
# If no java.home is specified a VM is located by looking in
these places in this
# order:
# 1) JAVA_HOME environment variables (same rules as java.home
above)
# 2) bin directory for java.dll (windows) or
lib/<ARCH>/libjava.so (unix)
# 3) ../jre
# 4) registry (windows only)
java.home=C:\Adobe\Flex Builder 2.0 Beta 3\Flex SDK 2.0\jre
# Arguments to VM
java.args=-ea -Xmx384m
# Environment variables we care about, whitespace-separated
env=
# java.class.path - use this for adding individual jars or
# directories. When directories are included they will be
searched
# for jars and zips and they will be added to the classpath
(in

Error while compiling java file

Hi, im newby in java,
i was trying to compile java files, and after that i will use it in JSP as javabean.
I have 2 files already, the first file is a connection code, and its compiled successfully, it looks like this
i named this as ConnectionBean.java
package my_package;
import java.sql.*;
public class ConnectionBean {
     private Connection con;
     private static final String driver = "org.postgresql.Driver";
     private static final String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/PSQLDS";
     private static final String username = "postgres";
     private static final String password = "mypassword";
     public ConnectionBean() {
     public Connection logOn() {
          try {
               Class.forName(driver); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); }
          catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
               System.err.println("ConnectionBean: driver unavailable..."); con = null; }
          catch (SQLException e) {
               System.err.println("ConnectionBean: driver not loaded..."); con = null; }
          return con;
     public void logOff() {
          try {
               con.close(); }
          catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace(); }
as you can see above im using "package", and yes i have manage to put all my java files within the correct path (ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\my_package)
And also, i have test this class as javabean on JSP file and it works.
There for i continue to create the second java file, as a purpose to create a back engine for JSP. I use the same package as ConnectionBean.java, it looks like this
i named this as ListPageEngine.java
package my_package;
import java.beans.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ListPageEngine {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          ConnectionBean conBean = new ConnectionBean();}
on compiling process using command "javac ListPageEngine.java", i get this error message
ListPageEngine.java:11: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ConnectionBean
location: class my_package.ListPageEngine
ConnectionBean conBean = new ConnectionBean();}
^
ListPageEngine.java:11: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ConnectionBean
location: class my_package.ListPageEngine
ConnectionBean conBean = new ConnectionBean();}
^
2 errors
I think, i am pretty much sure that all my configuration (wheater its Apache TomCat, Environment Variable or PostgreSQL server) was good, as a prove, i was able to use ConnectionBean.class in my JSP file.
I susspect the problem is related with "package", seems i cannot use ConnectionBean class within ListPageEngine class when i use package.
For another information, i didn't install such thing as J2EE, i only install JDK 1.5, i also guess this might be the cause.
Right now im all stuck, i try to find thread which might be related with my problem but i failed to find it, most of them get the same answer by UncleSAM which are
Try the following forum (about JSP technology)
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=45
JavaBeans spec contains nothing about JSP, but JSP spec describes using of beans.
i hope my question is clear so anyone who might have experience or clue with this problem might be able to help me.
Thanks before

finally folks, i found answer to my own problem hehehehe..
the problem is on the compiling command (javac ... my_file.java), i found that i need to add some parameter on the command to make it works.
This problem solved.

Location of compiled java files

Where are the compiled java files for jsps? Sometimes I get jsp errors in the log
files like:
D:\jsrv\my\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_my\jsp_servlet\_mypage\_cancelmembership.java:105:
')' expected
However, the _cancelmembership.java file does not exist at that location. Only
the _cancelmembership.class file exists at that location.

You do NOT want to change the bundled CSS files. Create your own CSS and include it in the template after the built-in CSS include. Any classes you create in your own file of the same name and specificity as the built-in classes will override those classes. For example:<style type="text/css">
td.myclass{color:red}
td.myclass{color:blue}
</style>The color of the text in a table cell with the class "myclass" will be blue, not red, since the same class was defined twice, it will use the one that came last on the page.
If you change the classes in the built-in template CSS files, you'll change them for everyone using your APEX instance, which is not a particularly good thing to do.

BUG: error rebuilding SQLJ files along other java files with generic

I have done a rebuild on a package containing some SQLJ files, and (consistently) got the following error:
C:\TeleMessage\trunk\src\telemessage\db\impl\dbAdmin.sqlj
    Error(44,18): Java Parsing. Encountered: <
    Expected: <IDENTIFIER> ...; "[" ...; The error at the cursor in the given file is not possible, since there was no '<' there, and besides - if I non-aggresively changed the file, e.g. narrowed imports, changed whitespace or added comments - the error remained in the same location.
I went and done a search using regex in the package, for a line starting with 17 chars followed by a '<'.
I found it in one of the normal JAVA files (not-SQLJ), at line 44 (surprise!) - in a Java 5 generics declaration, e.g. Map<String,Integer>. the 18th character was indeed the '<'.
I'm guessing that the SQLJ translator (accidentally?) parses non-SQLJ files.
If this cannot be fixed, it is really bad - it is one thing that JDeveloper cannot support Java 5 language features because of its dependancy in the SQLJ translator (which is not known to be upgraded until version 11g if at all), but the inability to compile SQLJ files in a project containing other non-SQLJ java files with Java 5 features is hard.
I could only workaround this by rebuilding SQLJ files one at a time!
I also have another type of error, when rebuilding the same project in a higher-level pacakge (root or "Application Sources"):
C:\TeleMessage\trunk\src\dbtools\CallbackNumberFiller.sqlj
    Error(24,8): Missing semicolon.
    Error(24,8): Unbalanced curly braces.Again, the specified file could not be the one to blame - the location of the error is in the middle of the public modified keyword in a method declaration; nothing is neither missing nor unbalanced.
This appears to be different, as it pops in the log near the end of the build process, when the JSPs are being built, specfically during the time the message log fills with "writing <...>" lines (after "translating <...>" and "compiling <...>".
I can consistently reproduce both cases - please advise how I can help you find out what causes this.
Regards,
Yaniv Kunda

First of all, this bug not JDeveloper's problem, but the SQLJ team's.
You can read more posts about this:
Re: BUG: Cannot translate SQLJ files with Java5 generics code
Re: How to use SQLJ with Java 1.4 and 1.5?
Re: SQLJ discontinued??
And if we're at it, this is strange - I can't seem to find the oracle doc you quoted...
SQLJ 11g? The latest release is a part of JPublisher 10.2 available from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
I also didn't find anything on google on 11g, nor about the part number you specified.
Didn't find any Java 1.5 supporting SQLJ translators from other vendors as well.
Do you have any link to this statement?
But if we examine this bug again, the problem involves JDeveloper passing Java 5 featured JAVA files to the SQLJ translator.
Isn't there a way to instruct the translator to use CLASS files compiled by a normal Java 5 compiler, instead of trying to compile the files itself?

Problem compiling java file to access web service! newbie troubles !

I am new to web services and this is my first program...
I am compiling java file which has import statement like:
import org.apache.soap.util.xml.*;
import org.apache.soap.*;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.*;
It says ----- package org.apache.soap.util.xml does not exist as one of errors..
I have a folder that I named soap myself and I have activation.jar,serces.jar,mail.jar,soap.jar in it.
I added c:\soap in my classpath and this was supposed to be the quickstart way to try an example out...
but it gives me compilation errors... what should I do ?

You'll need to specify each jar file in the classpath. c:\soap\xerces.jar;c:\soap\sax.jar;....

How to check the JDK version of a compiled java file

can anybody tell me how to check the JDK version of a compiled java file ?
Edited by: gbhatia8 on Sep 9, 2010 7:04 AM

The major/minor version of the class file is the way to go.
Also, it's not necessary to write a separate program to get to those. javap prints them out when being passed the -v flag.
Note, however that "JDK version" is not a correct term, as I can create 1.4-compatible class files with a Java 6 JDK (by passing the -target flag to javac). Those won't look any different than .class files written with a 1.4 JDK.

Running a compiled java file

Question: if a pc doesn't have the jre, how can it launch a compiled java file? For example, i create a program that calculates the expenses of a factory, i create the gui and i compile the file. Then i distribute my program. If a factory doesn't have jre, i suppose it can't launch the program...how can i do? can i create an exe file from java one?

If the machine has a browser, it probably has a jre, but that is beside the point. No it cannot run without a jre. If there is not one, it must be installed.

Creating a .bat file to compile .java files

Hi,
I am trying to create a .bat file to compile java files. I have created the .bat in the same folder as teh .java file I am trying to compile. I know the path is set to the proper folder to find the compiler, but I keep getting an error saying the system can not find the specified file, or can not read fileName.java. Everything is spelled correctly, and I know it works because it will compile from the command prompt. Any suggestions?

rather than including a sourcepath, just specify the full location. Using your example, this would read like
javac "C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\School Stuff\AP Comp Sci\PowerPoints\Chapter 02\Executables\Section 2.2\Facts.java"Note that everything is inside the inverted commas " "
I tried this on a hello world Java program inside a brief case and it works fine.
The class file is created inside the briefcase.
If you want to create a bat file to do this from anywhere, modify your batch file to look like this:
c:\
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin\Desktop\School Stuff\AP Comp Sci\PowerPoints\Chapter 02\Executables\Section 2.2"
javac %1.java
java %1Again, you would use this as follows
mybat FactsDon't forget to leave out the .java extension.
This will compile the java file and attempt to run it for you.
If you don't want it to run, leave out the java%1
If you create other java files in this same briefcase folder you can use mybat to compile them too.
For example
mybat Facts2

Compiling java files in DOS window

Hi,
I have been writin a small Client Server Application. I am attempting to use java packages in order to put certain class files into particular directories, and then import the packages when needed.
So far, i have started my 1st attempt at a very small application just to send / receive messages. My problem is however, that i can compile all the java files into specific directories & packages no problem, but when i try to compile the java files which make use of these classes, i keep getting the same error.
OK, i will try to simplify,
My Server program (called MyServer.java) uses 2 classes (called ProcessTransaction, and NumberValidator), I have compiled the generated class files from ProcessTransaction.java and NumberValidator.java files into a DIR called C:\JavaForm\serverstuff. i.e. my server program imports the package "serverstuff,*;" The problem is that when i try to compile my server program i get the error message:
"cannot access ProcessTransaction
bad class file: c:\JavaForm\ProcessTransaction.java
file does not contain class ProcessTransaction
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of classpath"
I am using the command:
javac -classpath c:\JavaForm c:\JavaForm\MyServer.java to compile the server file
All the java and class files are stored in the C:\JavaForm folder
I dont understand why the ProcessTransaction call cannot be accessed because it is most definitely in the compiled java file!!!
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Cheers
Iain

it's OK, i figured out that to compile the Server program successfully, you have to remove all the other java files from the DIR which the Server.java files exists, or else there is a conflict!!!! I dont know why, but that's what you have to do!!!!

Associating .java files with JDeveloper in Windows

Is there some mechanism via by which I can load a .java file in a currently instance of JDeveloper (905p) on Windows (2K) from the command line?
I want to be able to associate .java files with JDeveloper with appropriate actions defined, so that when I double-click on a .java file in Windows Explorer, it gets opened up in the currently running JDeveloper instance ... rather than opening a new instance of JDeveloper?
Thanks

Hi,
There's no easy way to do this at the moment. However, in the 10g production release, functionality has been added to associate .java files (and other artefacts e.g. .jpr files) with JDeveloper.
Thanks,

Cannot compile java file after ..

i installed java sdk 1.4
uninstalled java 1.2 & java 1.3.1
--after that i was not able to compile or run java file
reinstalled java 1.3.1 and 1.2
--now able to run previously compiled java file
--cannot compile a new java file
any help

It would be helpful if you would exactly tell us what error message you get instead of just saying "I can't compile or run anything anymore".
Things to think of: Did you add the bin directory of the JDK to your path? Is the classpath set correctly?
