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.
