<title>NetRexxC Task</title>

<body>
<h2 id="netrexxc">NetRexxC</h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Compiles a <a href="https://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/netrexx/library.html"
target="_top">NetRexx</a> source tree within the running (Apache Ant) JVM.</p>
<p>The source and destination directory will be recursively scanned for NetRexx source files to
compile. Only NetRexx files that have no corresponding class file or where the class file is older
than the java file will be compiled.</p>
<p>Files in the source tree are copied to the destination directory, allowing support files to be
located properly in the classpath. The source files are copied because the NetRexx compiler cannot
produce class files in a specific directory via parameters</p>
<p>The directory structure of the source tree should follow the package hierarchy.</p>
<p>It is possible to refine the set of files that are being compiled/copied. This can be done with
the <var>includes</var>, <var>includesfile</var>, <var>excludes</var>, <var>excludesfile</var>
and <var>defaultexcludes</var> attributes. With the <var>includes</var> or <var>includesfile</var>
attribute you specify the files you want to have included by using patterns. The <var>exclude</var>
or <var>excludesfile</var> attribute is used to specify the files you want to have excluded. This
is also done with patterns. And finally with the <var>defaultexcludes</var> attribute, you can
specify whether you want to use default exclusions or not. See the section
on <a href="../dirtasks.html#directorybasedtasks">directory based tasks</a>, on how the
inclusion/exclusion of files works, and how to write patterns.</p>
<p>This task forms an implicit <a href="../Types/fileset.html">FileSet</a> and supports most
attributes of <code><fileset></code> (<var>dir</var> becomes <var>srcdir</var>) as well as the
nested <code><include></code>, <code><exclude></code>
and <code><patternset></code> elements.</p>
<p>All attributes except <var>classpath</var>, <var>srcdir</var> and <var>destDir</var> are also
available as properties in the form <code>ant.netrexxc.<i>attributename</i></code>,
eg.<br/><code class="code"><property name="ant.netrexxc.verbose"
value="noverbose"/></code><br/> or from the command line as<br/><kbd>ant
-Dant.netrexxc.verbose=noverbose ...</kbd></p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: This task depends on external libraries not included in the Apache Ant
distribution. See <a href="../install.html#librarydependencies">Library Dependencies</a> for more
information.</p>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>compile</td>
<td>Whether the NetRexx compiler should compile the generated Java code</td>

on the default value for filtering compile messages.</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>crossref</td>
<td>Whether variable cross references are generated</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>decimal</td>
<td>Whether decimal arithmetic should be used for the NetRexx code. Setting this to <q>off</q>
will report decimal arithmetic as an error, for performance critical applications.</td>

<td>Whether default excludes should be used or not (<q>yes|no</q>).</td>
<td>No; defaults to <q>yes</q></td>

<td>the destination directory into which the NetRexx source files should be copied and then
compiled</td>
<td>Yes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>diag</td>
<td>Whether diagnostic information about the compile is generated</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>excludes</td>
<td>Comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be excluded.</td>
<td>No; defaults to default excludes or none if <var>defaultexcludes</var> is <q>no</q></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>excludesfile</td>
<td>Name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an exclude pattern</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>explicit</td>
<td>Whether variables must be declared explicitly before use</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>format</td>
<td>Whether the generated Java code is formatted nicely or left to match NetRexx line numbers
for call stack debugging</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>includes</td>
<td>Comma- or space-separated list of patterns of files that must be included.</td>
<td>No; defaults to all (<q>**</q>)</td>

<td>Name of a file. Each line of this file is taken to be an include pattern</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>java</td>
<td>Whether the generated Java code is produced</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>keep</td>
<td>Sets whether the generated java source file should be kept after compilation. The generated
files will have an extension
of <samp>.java.keep</samp>, <strong>not</strong> <samp>.java</samp>. Use <q>removeKeepExtension</q>
to change that.</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>logo</td>
<td>Whether the compiler text logo is displayed when compiling</td>
<td>No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>removeKeepExtension</td>
<td>Tells whether the trailing <samp>.keep</samp> in <var>compile</var>=<q>false</q> mode should
be removed so that the resulting Java source file really ends on <samp>.java</samp>. This
facilitates the use of the <kbd>javadoc</kbd> tool later on.</td>
