Jaroslav Tulach created NETBEANS-102:
----------------------------------------
Summary: CoS to generate .h files
Key: NETBEANS-102
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-102
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java - Source
Reporter: Jaroslav Tulach
Assignee: Tomas Zezula
JDK9 is about to deprecated {{javah}} utility. Instead one is supposed to
provide a special parameter to {{javac}}. However that complicates co-operation
with *NetBeans* _compile on save_ support as used by
[mx|https://github.com/graalvm/mx/]. The _CoS_ support only deals with
{{.class} and resource files - not with native headers.
Currently there is no solution, the IDE {{JavaFileManager}} does not support
{{StandardLocation.NATIVE_HEADER_OUTPUT}} at all. The IDE is not able to
generate header files by the internal javac compiler. If fixed the IDE could
generate these files into caches (the same approach is used now for
AnnotationProcessors generated non source files) and the incremental
compilation can copy these files into build.
