I am trying to get used to the JavaCompiler and trying to compile programs with it, I can successfully compile programs that comprises of single file but when im trying to compile projects with multiple files. I get errors on compiling files that implement other classes and where ever the class uses a method from the implemented class.
Here is the code that I am using to compile the java code
private final String directoryForBin = "C:/TempBINfolder/bin";
public List doCompilation(String sourceCode, String locationOfFile) {
List<String> compile = new ArrayList<>();
SimpleJavaFileObject fileObject = new DynamicJavaSourceCodeObject(locationOfFile, sourceCode);
JavaFileObject javaFileObjects[] = new JavaFileObject[]{fileObject};
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
StandardJavaFileManager stdFileManager = compiler.getStandardFileManager(null, Locale.getDefault(), null);
Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits = Arrays.asList(javaFileObjects);
// creates a Temp BIN foler on the C: drive to add .class files for compiling
new File(directoryForBin).mkdirs();
String[] compileOptions = new String[]{"-d", directoryForBin, "-classpath", System.getProperty("java.class.path")};
Iterable<String> compilationOptions = Arrays.asList(compileOptions);
DiagnosticCollector<JavaFileObject> diagnostics = new DiagnosticCollector<JavaFileObject>();
CompilationTask compilerTask = compiler.getTask(null, stdFileManager, diagnostics, compilationOptions, null, compilationUnits);
boolean status = compilerTask.call();
if (!status) {//If compilation error occurs
// Iterate through each compilation problem and print it
for (Diagnostic diagnostic : diagnostics.getDiagnostics()) {
compile.add(diagnostic.getKind().toString()+" on line "+ diagnostic.getLineNumber() +"\nIn file: \n"+ diagnostic.toString()+"\n\n");
}
}
try {
stdFileManager.close();//Close the file manager
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return compile;
}
Here is a sample of one of the classes I am trying to compile
public class IntegerComparator
implements Comparator<Integer>
{
public IntegerComparator(){}
public int compare(Integer a, Integer b)
{ int aValue = a.intValue();
int bValue = b.intValue();
return (aValue - bValue);
}
}
Does anybody know what is going wrong here and why my code is not finding the implemented class even though it is in the same folder as that of the class implementing it?
Is it because the package is not located at the top of the program?
EDIT: This is the output error for the above example
ERROR on line 8
In file:
/projects/Compiler/Studentfilestotest/LAB3/aroc1/a3/IntegerComparator.java:8: error: cannot find symbol
implements Comparator<Integer>
^
symbol: class Comparator
This is what System.getProperty("java.class.path")
is returning
