JH_BUILD(1) Javahelper JH_BUILD(1)
NAME
jh_build - compile java sources in the absence of a (useful) upstream
build system
SYNOPSIS
jh_build [debhelper options]
jh_build [debhelper options] jarfile source [... source]
DESCRIPTION
FILES
debian/javabuild
A file consisting of each build to perform. One build per line
where each line consists of:
jarfile source [... source]
Where jarfile is the name of the jar file to be built and source is
a source file or directory containing source files.
OPTIONS
--main=main-class
Set the Main-Class attribute in the manifest of the generated jar
file(s) to main-class. This makes java -jar generated-jar-file run
that class.
--java-home=home
Use home as JAVA_HOME (overrides the JAVA_HOME environment
variable).
-J, --javadoc, --no-javadoc
Whether or not to build javadoc for the jar files. The default is
to generate javadoc along with the jar files.
--javacopts=options
Pass options to javac (when invoking javac). The options value is
a space-separate list of options (remember to quote the argument to
avoid the shell interpreting the value).
--javadoc-opts=options
Pass options to javadoc (when invoking javadoc). The options value
is a space-separate list of options (remember to quote the argument
to avoid the shell interpreting the value).
--clean
If passed, jh_build will clean up after itself. This is called by
jh_clean(1) and using jh_clean(1) is recommended over calling
jh_build with --clean directly.
ENVIRONMENT
JAVA_HOME
If set (and --java-home is omitted), it determines the location of
the java home for finding the javac(1) compiler, javadoc(1)
compiler and the jar(1) utility.
If the environment variable is unset and --java-home is omitted,
then the default java home is /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
CLASSPATH
If set, this is the classpath used during compilation of the source
code.
JH_JAR_EXTRA
A space separated list of extra files or directories to include in
the generated jar file(s).
Can be omitted if no extra files need to be included.
EXAMPLE
jh_build foo.jar src/java/main
Will generate foo.jar from compiling all the java files in
src/java/main and generate a javadoc from it.
