JxMake is a Java-based cross-platform build system primarily inspired by the syntax and features of GNU Make, Perforce Jam, and CMake.

Additionally, JxMake also supports several other features that are not included with other console-based build systems, such as a built-in simple GUI, serial console, serial plotter, etc.

Currently, the JxMake loadable libraries (build scripts) are more focused on building for embedded systems. However, support for building desktop applications will also be improved in the future.

Building JxMake requires Java SDK 8 or later (note that Java SDK 8 is an LTS version).

Features

  • Lazy and direct variable assignment
  • String replacement using regular expressions when evaluating variables
  • Built-in functions for file, directory, string manipulation, and more
  • Built-in programmer for some MCUs (using generic GPIO modules)
  • User-defined functions, targets, and macros
  • Support for conditional and loop statements
  • Arithmetic and logic operation and evaluation
  • Including other specification files from one specification file
  • Built-in variables for printing using ANSI color codes
  • Built-in serial console and plotter supporting both normal serial connection and TCP <-> Serial Bridge connection
  • Auto-detect dependencies for C/C++ and Java source code file
  • Creating and executing simple GUI from XML description (some built-in dialog boxes are provided by the loadable library)
  • Loadable library to ease project building using GCC, Clang, MSVC, SDCC, and Java
  • Simple to moderately complex hardware schematic and PCB design for generic GPIO, basic programmers, and other tools
