[Jython-dev] A proposal for jythonc -J / --compileropts

[Humbel O. <Otm...@bi...>]

Hello,

Please find below a possible solution to a small jythonc problem. I hope
it is not platform specific. I am not sure if this should become a bug
report.

Typing:
	[appl|pwe] > jythonc --package CH.obj.Libraries.Test --workdir
e:/temp=20
                  --compileropts "-g -d e:/pwe_appl/out"
WorkflowRuntimeFactoryImpl.py
results in:
	Could not find class: e:/pwe_appl/out

With the following change in jython/Tools/main.py (around line 150):
	elif opt in ('-J', '--compileropts'):
		options.jopts =3D arg.split(',')       # was arg.split()
before
we can type:
	[appl|pwe] > jythonc --package CH.obj.Libraries.Test --workdir
e:/temp=20
	             --compileropts -g,-d,e:/pwe_appl/out
WorkflowRuntimeFactoryImpl.py
and successfully get:=20
	processing WorkflowRuntimeFactoryImpl
		<snipped> =09
	Compiling .java to .class...
	Compiling with args: ['c:\\jdk1.3\\bin\\javac', '-g', '-d',
'e:/pwe_appl/out', '-classpath',=20
		<rest of javac command snipped> =09
	0  Note:
e:\temp\CH\obj\Libraries\Test\WorkflowRuntimeFactoryImpl.java uses or
overrides a deprecated API.
	Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.

This change would match the behaviour of --falsenames, but I don't know
if it is reasonable. I did not test the behaviour of the setting of
python.jythonc.compileropts in the registry.=20
Of course the documentation in jythonc.html (and in main.py around line
50) would need to be updated to:
	--compileropts / -J options:
	A comma separated list of options passed directly to the Java
compiler.
	Alternatively, you can set the property
python.jythonc.compileropts in the registry.

My configuration is as follows:
	on Windows NT
	[appl|pwe] > jython
	Jython 2.0 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
	Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
	>>>=20

Best wishes,
Oti.
