Method Detail

getDefaultCompilerFactory

public static ICompilerFactory getDefaultCompilerFactory()
                                                  throws Exception

Finds the first implementation of org.codehaus.commons.compiler on the class path, then loads and instantiates its ICompilerFactory.

Returns:

The ICompilerFactory of the first implementation on the class path

Throws:

Exception - Many things can go wrong while finding and initializing the default compiler factory

getAllCompilerFactories

public static ICompilerFactory[] getAllCompilerFactories()
                                                  throws Exception

Finds all implementation of org.codehaus.commons.compiler on the class path, then loads and instantiates their ICompilerFactorys.

Returns:

The ICompilerFactorys of all implementations on the class path

Throws:

Exception - Many things can go wrong while finding and initializing compiler factories

getCompilerFactory

public static ICompilerFactory getCompilerFactory(String compilerFactoryClassName)
                                           throws Exception

Loads an ICompilerFactory by class name.

Parameters:

compilerFactoryClassName - Name of a class that implements ICompilerFactory

Throws:

Exception - Many things can go wrong while loading and initializing the default compiler factory

getSpecificationVersion

public static String getSpecificationVersion()

Returns:

The version of the commons-compiler specification, or null
