nb-javac-android

nb-javac is a patched version of OpenJDK "javac", i.e., the Java compiler. This has long been part of NetBeans, providing a highly tuned Java compiler specifically for the Java editor i.e., parsing and lexing for features such as syntax coloring, code completion.

nb-javac-android is a patched version of nb-javac. It allows developers to use javac i.e. the Java Compiler in android applications.

This version of nb-javac is meant to be used with AndroidIDE. If you want to use it in your project, you might need to do some modifications. See Issue #1 for more information.

nb-javac-android's Issues

Compiler doesn't recognise classpath jars

Upon running it on a test app, the nb-javac-android compiler complains of no classpath containing java.lang.* class files even tho it is present whereas nb-javac from CodeAssist (again with the same arguments) works fine. This seems like an issue with scanning jar files?
