| Standalone Jackpot 3.0 |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| The standalone Jackpot 3.0 compiler is a javac replacement that not only compiles |
| the given source files, but also runs any specified Jackpot rules. When the Jackpot |
| rule has a fix, the fix is applied and a patch file is created in the source output |
| directory in META-INF/upgrade/upgrade.diff. |
| |
| There are three sources of Jackpot rules to run: |
| 1) .hint files found on classpath and source path. By default, any .hint file found on |
| class and source path in META-INF/upgrade is interpreted as a Jackpot rule and performed. |
| Use "-Ajackpot30_enable_cp_hints=true/false" to enable/disable running the rules and |
| "-Ajackpot30_apply_cp_hints=true/false" to enable/disable application of the primary |
| fixes of the rules. |
| 2) custom rule files passed from command line using "-Ajackpot30_extra_hints=<files". |
| 3) NetBeans hints (disabled by default) |
| |
| Running jackpotc from command line |
| ---------------------------------- |
| |
| jackpotc script can be used as a replacement of javac. Pass the above arguments to |
| control which rules should or should not be run. |
| |
| Limitations: |
| -"-sourcepath" argument must be provided |
| -"-J" arguments are not supported |
| |
| Running jackpotc from ant |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Start ant using "ant -lib <directory-containing-jackpotc> -Dbuild.compiler=org.netbeans.modules.jackpot30.compiler.ant.JackpotCompiler". |
| The "-A" parameters need to be passed using -D instead of -A. |
