.SH NAME
ecj \- the eclipse JDT Batch Compiler

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ecj [OPTION]... [SOURCEFILE]...
.B ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ecj is the batch compiler from Eclipse and is available as ecj.jar.
Since 3.3, this jar also contains the support for jsr199 (Compiler API) 
and the support for jsr269 (Annotation processing). In order to use the 
annotations processing support, a 1.6 VM is required.

.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.ul
Module Options (Supported from 9 onwards)

.B
.IP  "--add-exports /=(,)*"
A command line form of exports statement which exports the package in source-module to the comma separated list of target modules.

.B
.IP  "--add-modules ,,...," 
Extend the default set of root modules with a list of comma separated modules.

.B
.IP  "--add-reads =
A command line form of a requires clause equivalent to adding requires source-module in target modules module-info file.

.B
.IP  "--limit-modules ,,...," 
Limit the observable modules to the list of comma separated modules.

.B
.IP  "-p|--module-path ;;...;" 
This is a list of directories where application modules can be found. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.

.B
.IP  "--module-source-path ;;...;" 
This is a list of directories where source files for modules can be found. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.

.B
.IP  "--processor-module-path "
 module path where annotation processors can be found.

.B
.IP  "--system "
 Override location of system modules.

.P
.ul
ClassPath Options

.B
.IP "\-bootclasspath ;;...;"
This is a list of directories or jar files used to bootstrap the class files used by the compiler. By default the libraries of the running VM are used. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.
Each directory or file can specify access rules for types between '[' and ']'. 
If no bootclasspath is specified, the compiler will infer it using the following system properties sun.boot.class.path, vm.boot.class.path or org.apache.harmony.boot.class.path in this order respectively

.B
.IP "\-cp|\-classpath ;dir2;..."
This is a list of directories or jar files used to compile the source files. The default value is the value of the property "java.class.path". Entries are separated by the platform path separator.
Each directory or file can specify access rules for types between '[' and ']' (e.g. [\-X] to forbid access to type X, [~X] to discourage access to type X, [+p/X:\-p/*] to forbid access to all types in package p but allow access to p/X).
The compiler follows the Class-Path clauses of jar files' manifests recursively and appends each referenced jar file to the end of the classpath, provided it is not on the classpath yet.

.B
.IP "\-extdirs ;;...;"
This is a list of directories used to specify the location of extension zip/jar files. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.

.B
.IP "\-endorseddirs ;;...;"
This is a list of directories used to specify the location of endorsed zip/jar files. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.

.B
.IP "\-sourcepath ;;...;"
This is a list of directories used to specify the source files. Entries are separated by the platform path separator.  Each directory can specify access rules for types between '[' and ']'.

.B
.IP "\-d |none"
This is used to specify in which directory the generated .class files should be dumped. If it is omitted, no package directory structure is created.
If you want to generate no .class file at all, use \-d none.

.B
.IP "\-encoding "
Specify default encoding for all source files. Custom encoding can also be specified on a per file basis by suffixing each input source file/folder name with []. For example X.java[UTF-8] would specify the UTF-8 encoding for the compilation unit X.java located in the current user directory. 
If multiple default source file encodings are specified, the last one will be used.

For example:
.B ... \-encoding UTF-8 X.java[Cp1252] Y.java[UTF-16] Z.java ....
.br
All source files will be read using UTF-8 encoding (this includes Z.java). X.java will be read using Cp1252 encoding and Y.java will be read using UTF-16 encoding.
.sp
.B ... \-encoding UTF-8 -encoding UTF-16 ....
.br
All source files will be read using UTF-16 encoding. The \-encoding option for UTF-8 is ignored.
.sp
.B ... \-encoding Cp1252 /foo/bar/X.java[UTF-16] /foo/bar[UTF-8] ....
.br
All source files will be read using Cp1252 encoding. X.java is the only file inside the /foo/bar directory to be read using the encoding UTF-16. All other files in that directory will use UTF-8 encoding.

.in

.B
.IP "\-nowarn"
No warning (equivalent to \-warn:none) 
.B
.IP "\-err:..."
Specify the set of enabled warnings that are converted to errors.
.br
E.g.
.br
.B \-err:unusedLocal,deprecation
.br
unusedLocal and deprecation warnings will be converted to errors. All other warnings are still reported as warnings.

.B \-err:\fI\fR \tconvert exactly the listed warnings to errors
.br
.B \-err:+\fI\fR \tconvert additional warnings to errors
.br
.B \-err:\-\fI\fR \tremove specific warnings from being converted to errors

.B
.IP \-deprecation 
Equivalent to \-warn:+deprecation. 
.B
.IP "\-properties "
Set warnings/errors option based on the properties file contents. This option can be used with \-nowarn, \-err:.. or \-warn:.. options, but the last one on the command line sets the options to be used.

The properties file contents can be generated by setting project specific settings on an existing java project and using the file in .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file as a properties file, or a simple text file that is defined entry/value pairs using the constants defined in the org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore class. Of those constants declared in this class, all options starting with "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler." are interpreted by the batch compiler.

 ...
.br
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.annotationSuperInterface=warning
.br
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.assertIdentifier=warning
.br
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.autoboxing=ignore
.br
 ...
.sp
To ensure that a property file has the same effect when used in the IDE and for the batch compiler, use of the \-properties option will change the defaults for a few options:

.br
.B \-g\fR \t\t\t\t\tdefault changed to all enabled
.br
.B \-preserveAllLocals\fR \t\tdefault changed to enabled
.br
.B \-enableJavadoc\fR \t\tdefault changed to enabled
.br
error/warning \fBforbidden\fR \tdefault changed to error

.P
.ul
Debug Options

.B
.IP "\-g[:none|:lines,vars,source]"
Set the debug attributes level
.br
.B \-g\fR \t\t\t\t\tAll debug info (equivalent to \-g:lines,vars,source) 
.br
.B \-g:none\fR \t\t\t\tNo debug info 
.br
.B \-g:[lines,vars,source]\fR \tSelective debug info 
.br
Not specifying this option is equivalent to setting \-g:lines,source.

.B
.IP "\-preserveAllLocals"
Explicitly request the compiler to preserve all local variables (for debug purpose). If omitted, the compiler will remove unused locals. 
.B
.IP "\-parameters"
Explicitly request the compiler to preserve information about the formal parameters of a method (such as their names) to be accessed from reflection libraries, annotation processing, code weaving, and in the debugger. This option is supported from target level 1.8 and later.
Annotation processing options (require a 1.6 VM or above and are used only if the compliance is 1.6) 

.P
.ul
Annotation Processing Options

.B
.IP "\-Akey[=value]"
Annotation processors options that are passed to annotation processors. key is made of identifiers separated by dots 

.B
.IP "\-proc:[only|none]"
If \-proc:only is specified, the annotation processors will run but no compilation will be performed. If \-proc:none is specified, annotation processors will not be discovered or run; compilation will proceed as if no annotation processors were found. By default the compiler must search the classpath for annotation processors, so specifying \-proc:none may speed compilation if annotation processing is not required. 
.B
.IP "\-processor "
Qualified class names of annotation processors to run. If specified, the normal processor discovery process will be skipped. 
.B
.IP "\-processorpath ;;...;"
A list of directories or jar files which will be searched for annotation processors. Entries are separated by the platform path separator. If not specified, the classpath will be searched instead. 
.B
.IP "\-s "
The directory where generated source files will be created. 
.B
.IP "\-XprintProcessorInfo"
Print information about which annotations and which elements a processor is asked to process 
.B
.IP "\-XprintRounds"
Print information about annotation processing rounds 
.B
.IP "\-classNames "
Qualified names of binary types that need to be processed 

.P
.ul
Ignored Options (for compatibility with javac options)

.B
.IP "\-J"
Pass option to the virtual machine 
.B
.IP "\-X"
Specify non-standard option. \-Xemacs is not ignored. 
.B
.IP "\-X"
Print non-standard options and exit 
.B
.IP "\-O"
Optimize for execution time 

.P
.ul
Advanced Options

.B
.IP "@"
Read command-line arguments from file 
.B
.IP "\-maxProblems "
Max number of problems per compilation unit (100 by default) 
.B
.IP "\-log "
Specify a log file in which all output from the compiler will be dumped. This is really useful if you want to debug the batch compiler or get a file which contains all errors and warnings from a batch build. If the extension is .xml, the generated log will be an xml file. 
.B
.IP "\-genericsignature"
Explicitly request the compiler to preserve information about generic signature of lambda expressions. 
.B
.IP "\-Xemacs"
Use emacs style to present errors and warnings locations into the console and regular text logs. XML logs are unaffected by this option. With this option active, the message:
.br
\ \ \ \ 2. WARNING in /workspace/X.java
.br
\ \ \ \ (at line 8)...
.br
is presented as:
.br
\ \ \ \ /workspace/X.java:8: warning: The method... 
.br

.B
.IP "\-proceedOnError[:Fatal]"
Keep compiling in spite of errors, dumping class files with problem methods or problem types. This is recommended only if you want to be able to run your application even if you have remaining errors.
With ":Fatal", all optional errors are treated as fatal and this leads to code that will abort if an error is reached at runtime. Without ":Fatal", optional errors don't prevent the proper code generation and the produced .class files can be run without a problem. 
.B
.IP "\-verbose"
Print accessed/processed compilation units in the console or the log file if specified. 
.B
.IP "\-referenceInfo"
Compute reference info. This is useful only if connected to the builder. The reference infos are useless otherwise. 
.B
.IP "\-progress"
Show progress (only in \-log mode). 
.B
.IP "\-time"
Display speed information. 
.B
.IP "\-noExit"
Do not call System.exit(n) at end of compilation (n=0 if no error). 
.B
.IP "\-repeat "
Repeat compilation process  times (perf analysis). 
.B
.IP "\-inlineJSR"
Inline JSR bytecode (implicit if target >= 1.5). 
.B
.IP "\-enableJavadoc"
Consider references inside Javadoc. The Javadoc options are effective only when this option is enabled.
