Hello.
From time to time, I want to run an annotation processor over all the
Java sources going into the JDK. Annotation processors as compiler
plug-ins can be used to check various structural properties of the
code. For example, an annotation processor could be used to find
potential methods to be converted to use var-args.
The goal is to ideally have a single command like
javac -proc:only -processor MyProcessor $OTHER_OPTIONS `Long list
of files`
and I wanted to verify the proper way to get the long list of files.
From the root of a JDK 7 forest with a build directory, does
find corba/src \
jaxp/drop/jaxp_src \
jaxws/drop/jaxws_src \
langools/src \
jdk/src/share jdk/src/$OS \
$BUILDDIR/$PLATFORM/gensrc \
-name "*.java"
cover all the files of interest?
(It is technically possible, but less convenient, to run such annotation
processors over the class files in rt.jar and tools.jar.)
Thanks,
-Joe
