If source-version 1.3 or 1.4 or 1.5 is requested, it gets mapped to 1.6, for backward compatibility. (Currently the minimum Java and javac version we need to support is Java 1.6, since that's the default Java version on Solaris 10.) target_version can be: classfile version: 1.6 50.0 1.7 51.0 1.8 52.0 9 53.0 10 54.0 11 55.0 ... ... If a target-version below 1.6 is requested, it gets mapped to 1.6, for backward compatibility. (Currently the minimum Java and javac version we need to support is Java 1.6, since that's the default Java version on Solaris 10.) target_version can also be given as NULL. In this case, the required target_version is determined from the found JVM (see javaversion.h). Specifying target_version is useful when building a library (.jar) that is useful outside the given package. Passing target_version = NULL is useful when building an application. It is unreasonable to ask for a target-version < source-version, such as - target_version < 1.4 with source_version >= 1.4, or - target_version < 1.5 with source_version >= 1.5, or - target_version < 1.6 with source_version >= 1.6, or - target_version < 1.7 with source_version >= 1.7, or - target_version < 1.8 with source_version >= 1.8, or - target_version < 9 with source_version >= 9, or - target_version < 10 with source_version >= 10, or - target_version < 11 with source_version >= 11, or - ... because even Sun's/Oracle's javac doesn't support these combinations. It is redundant to ask for a target_version > source_version, since the smaller target_version = source_version will also always work and newer JVMs support the older target_versions too. directory is the target directory. The .class file for class X.Y.Z is written at directory/X/Y/Z.class. If directory is NULL, the .class file is written in the source's directory. use_minimal_classpath = true means to ignore the user's CLASSPATH and use a minimal one. This is likely to reduce possible problems if the user's CLASSPATH contains garbage or a classes.zip file of the wrong Java version. If verbose, the command to be executed will be printed. Return false if OK, true on error. */ extern bool compile_java_class (const char * const *java_sources, unsigned int java_sources_count, const char * const *classpaths, unsigned int classpaths_count, const char *source_version, const char *target_version, const char *directory, bool optimize, bool debug, bool use_minimal_classpath, bool verbose); #endif /* _JAVACOMP_H */
