[javaCompiler-users] Great tool

[Abir B. <abi...@gm...>]

Hi,
  First, thanks for the great tool for gcj bundled with required libraries.
Good to use a prebundled app like this... (previously I was useing thiscool
gcj ....)
  However, I expect a few additional features in the next version ....
  1) All the library versions are hard-coded inside the
JavaCompiler.javaclass. Can't it be set in th ui itself...
     Like If I want to use swingwt .88 (realeased a few days ago) I can
compile it  & build my application with it.. instead of downloading the 150
mb bundle for next version once again! ... or bulding the application from
source code for the library ...
      Same applies to other lib's also (like swt3.2 etc can be used.)  ,,,
So  basically user should have an option to specify the compiler & the
library path ...
  2) expect for linux one opt name & windows another , as opposed to the
convention that linux file append by -lin, & windows file by -win.exe. Give
an option to create shared library / dll also ...
 3) expose gcc / gcj command line parameters (optimization, tuning /
architecture etc) , either through gui, or even just a text box will work
for most situations....
4) as opposed to replacing all the swing package to swingwt, i think it is
better to move all the swingwt library to swing package & compile (as the
swingwt lib is only to fill the gap between gnu classpath & gcj. I think
thiscool gcj prebuild swingwt works that way)
5) also give a standard makefile or ant script with the source code of the
program ...
6) also u can provide preompiled version of the new versionof library as
drop in  replacement of the old version, instead of downloading the whole
program...

thanks for the application ...
