This question is to developers but I have copied the user list as many users may want
to know....
I have a question about the design of rmic. Looking at the code, it uses base as
the source and the destination for rmi generation, unlike javac. Taking a look at
rmic that came with jdk1.3(I don't have much knowledge of previous rmic's), the source
comes from the classpath, and the -d option specifies the target, clearly allowing ant
rmic task to have a separate source and destination folder. My question is, why was
the design not done this way?? and is there plans to change it? or can I
modify it, so that either base is required or dest and src is required(for backwards
compatibility).
This way so that those that want to generate their rmic from one location and
place it somewhere else can(this is very common as stubs get posted on web sites and
the rest of the code doesn't sometimes).
thanks for any info you can provide,
Dean
