Hello All,
I was looking through this pr:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/151923
And saw the final idea was to just build icedtea. I found one of the build
requirements to be the the Eclipse Java Compiler, but didn't find this in
the tree.
I've used the ecj.jar for sometime now compiling outside of the Eclipse
environment, and thought it would be a good idea to get this into the tree,
if it isn't already there.
I didn't see the compiler in the tree, and thought it could help in getting
a final solution together for not just this pr, but I believe it would move
along some other efforts, as well.
If this does nothing at all, I would hope it just provides the bare minimum
compiler.
Attached is the shell archive of Eclipse Java Compiler. If there are no
objections I was going to put this into the tree this week.
I'd like to see ECJ in the ports tree.
One question on the port. It looks like it only installs ecj.jar.
Wouldn't it also be useful to install a script to run it? I can certainly
manually type 'java -jar /usr/local/share/java/classes/ecj.jar -classpath
rt.jar Foo.java', but it would be simpler if there was an ecj script that
maybe just let me do 'ecj Foo.java'. Is there a good reason not to write
such a script?
I can't see of a reason to have that, however I can see a reason to at least
have a package message to that affect. I'm not sure how to account for an
unknown amount of arguments in a shell script, unless there is only ever
going to be one argument? If the latter is the case, then including a shell
script would be nice.
How does this work?
#!/bin/sh
%%JAVA%% -jar %%JAVAJARDIR%%/%%PORTNAME%%.jar -classpath $1
Thanks!
