public class NetRexxC extends MatchingTask
Compiles NetRexx source files. This task can take the following arguments:
  • binary
  • classpath
  • comments
  • compile
  • console
  • crossref
  • decimal
  • destdir
  • diag
  • explicit
  • format
  • keep
  • logo
  • replace
  • savelog
  • srcdir
  • sourcedir
  • strictargs
  • strictassign
  • strictcase
  • strictimport
  • symbols
  • time
  • trace
  • utf8
  • verbose
  • suppressMethodArgumentNotUsed
  • suppressPrivatePropertyNotUsed
  • suppressVariableNotUsed
  • suppressExceptionNotSignalled
  • suppressDeprecation
  • removeKeepExtension
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)

    • setBinary

      public void setBinary(boolean binary)
      Set whether literals are treated as binary, rather than NetRexx types. Valid true values are "yes", "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default is false.
      Parameters:
      binary - a boolean value.

    • 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 "yes", "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is false.
      Parameters:
      comments - a boolean value.

    • setCompact

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

      Set whether or not compiler messages should be displayed on the 'console'. Note that this task will rely on the default value for filtering compile messages. Valid true values are "yes", "on" or "true". Anything else sets the flag to false. The default value is false.
      Parameters:
      console - a boolean value.

      Parameters:
      removeKeepExtension - boolean

    • 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.
      Overrides:
      init in class Task

    • execute

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