Class CheckerMain

java.lang.Object

org.checkerframework.framework.util.CheckerMain

Direct Known Subclasses:

CheckerDevelMain

public class CheckerMain
extends Object

This class behaves similarly to javac. CheckerMain does the following:

• add the javac.jar to the runtime classpath of the process that runs the Checker Framework.
• add jdk8.jar to the compile time bootclasspath of the javac argument list passed to javac
• parse and implement any special options used by the Checker Framework, e.g., using "shortnames" for annotation processors
• pass all remaining command-line arguments to the real javac

To debug this class, use the -AoutputArgsToFile=FILENAME command-line argument or -AoutputArgsToFile=- to output to standard out.

"To run the Checker Framework" really means to run java, where the program being run is a special version of javac, and javac is passed a -processor command-line argument that mentions a Checker Framework checker. There are 5 relevant classpaths: The classpath and bootclasspath when running java, and the classpath, bootclasspath, and processorpath used by javac. The latter three are the only important ones.

Note for developers: Try to limit the work done (and options interpreted) by CheckerMain, because its functionality is not available to users who choose not to use the Checker Framework javac script.
