Re: [javaCompiler-users] Hi

[Marco T. <mt...@gm...>]

Hello Mufaddal

Depending on the effort you're willing to invest, you will be able to 
compile it.
The first problem is swing. Check the second question in the faq: 
http://javacompiler.mtsystems.ch/more_info.html -> FAQ.
The second problem are the mustang-only classes. Most likely, this will 
not be a problem. Just create a new jar with these classes (they're in 
JAVA_HOME/lib/rt.jar) and satisfy the depencies. Now hope that these are 
pure java classes (nothing native or other fancy stuff) and add this jar 
to the compilation project. I've done the same with not supported Java 
1.5 classes.

As I said, depending on the effort you're willing to invest, it will 
work. If it's really important, you can get it working...


As for the other utilities, you might try exelsior jet 
(http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html). Actually I don't like it because:
- it's very expensive
- compiled applications need a runtime to be shipped with that's about 
50mb on windows and about 80mb on linux if I remember right...
Thus, for me it's absolutely useless. That's exactly why I started 
javaCompiler. Ah yeah, it will only solve the swing problem. For the 
mustang java classes, you'll have to do the same as described above.


regards
Marco

PS: From now on, I'll CC the javaCompiler users mailinglist with such 
requests, because the right place for discussions like this would be there.
