JH_BUILD

NAME

SYNOPSIS

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.
