Sam, I haven't had much luck find any officail docs besides some really badly commented Javadocs. However, I think you may find this link of use (it's even better than docs):
The folks at 'sourcebot' have a Java de-compiler wired up to a web page. Give it a web link to your favorite class file (say com.sun.tools.java.Main) and off you go: http://www.sourcebot.com/sourcebot/decompile.cgi?url=http://www.sourcebot.com/sourcebot/sun/tools/javac/Main.class I've put the 1.3rc2 compiler classes up on www.wavesplash.com/java: http://www.sourcebot.com/sourcebot/decompile.cgi?url=http://www.wavesplash.com/java/com/sun/tools/javac/Main.class And where the real fun begins: http://www.sourcebot.com/sourcebot/decompile.cgi?url=http://www.wavesplash.com/java/com/sun/tools/javac/v8/Main.class Enjoy, -San > > > Where can I find documentation on the various JDK versions of > sun.tools.javac.Main.compile? > > I'd like to take a look in support "modern" compiles (bug 129), and getting > rid of such kludges as parsing the output stream for "error" (bug 88), but > I would like to know a bit more about how the APIs are supported to work > before proceeding... > > - Sam Ruby > > > -- "Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart."
