Interface JavaCompiler.CompilationTask

All Superinterfaces:

Callable<Boolean>

All Known Implementing Classes:

JavacTask

Enclosing interface:

JavaCompiler

public static interface JavaCompiler.CompilationTask
extends Callable<Boolean>

Interface representing a future for a compilation task. The compilation task has not yet started. To start the task, call the call method.

Before calling the call method, additional aspects of the task can be configured, for example, by calling the setProcessors method.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	addModules(Iterable<String> moduleNames)	Adds root modules to be taken into account during module resolution.
Boolean	call()	Performs this compilation task.
void	setLocale(Locale locale)	Sets the locale to be applied when formatting diagnostics and other localized data.
void	setProcessors(Iterable<? extends Processor> processors)	Sets processors (for annotation processing).

Method Details

addModules

void addModules(Iterable<String> moduleNames)

Adds root modules to be taken into account during module resolution. Invalid module names may cause either IllegalArgumentException to be thrown, or diagnostics to be reported when the task is started.

Parameters:

moduleNames - the names of the root modules

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - may be thrown for some invalid module names

IllegalStateException - if the task has started

Since:

setProcessors

void setProcessors(Iterable<? extends Processor> processors)

Sets processors (for annotation processing). This will bypass the normal discovery mechanism.

Parameters:

processors - processors (for annotation processing)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the task has started

setLocale

void setLocale(Locale locale)

Sets the locale to be applied when formatting diagnostics and other localized data.

Parameters:

locale - the locale to apply; null means apply no locale

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the task has started

call

Boolean call()

Performs this compilation task. The compilation may only be performed once. Subsequent calls to this method throw IllegalStateException.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable<Boolean>

Returns:

true if and only all the files compiled without errors; false otherwise

Throws:

RuntimeException - if an unrecoverable error occurred in a user-supplied component. The cause will be the error in user code.

IllegalStateException - if called more than once
