Capture the output of JAVAC (this howto is deprecated)Tag(s): DEPRECATED
method 1a : redirect to a file
// Win95 (?) javac -J-Djavac.pipe.output=true myClass.java >output.txt // WinNT (or better) javac MyClass.java 2>output.txt
method 1a : redirect to stdout with a pause after each screen full
// WinNT (or better) javac MyClass.java 2>&1 | MORE
method 2 : use JAVA to capture the output
// [JDK 1.1] // to compile: java JC mySource.java // (use redirection to keep the output) // java JC mySource.java >output.txt import java.io.*; public class JC { public static void main( String args[] ) throws IOException, InterruptedException { String fn = "JC.java"; if( args.length > 0 ) fn = args[0]; System.out.println( "BEGIN (" + fn + ")" ); Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "javac -verbose " + fn ); String buf; BufferedReader se = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader( p.getErrorStream() ) ); while( (buf = se.readLine()) != null ) System.out.println( " : " + buf ); System.out.println( "END (rc:" + p.waitFor() + ")" ); } }
or you can always use a small text editor like Textpad where you can write with Java code (with syntax coloring), compile, capture compiler output and launch your Applet or Application directly from the editor.
