rmic question

[Aleksandar Miljusevic <al...@sedonanetworks.com>]

I noticed that rmic task doesn't have a classpath attribute. What is the
recommended way to pass the classpath information to rmic? I know that I can
set the CLASSPATH environment variable to contain needed classes/jars but I
wouldn't want the user to have to worry about that. Are there any plans to
add support for this attribute to rmic? Has anybody written a user-defined
task to do it?

There might be several reasons why nobody answered, mine was (and is)
I don't use rmic, jiffyc nor fastjar.

As long as we don't come up with a better solution something like the
build.compiler kludge - that I'm not happy with - might be one
possible way to differentiate between several implementations of the
same kind of task, but that would imply we had several
implementations.

The Rmic task always uses rmic. But there is also jiffyc - much faster
tool. Probably, some property a la "build.compiler" should be
introduced. Same question about jar and fastjar pair.

There is a classpath attribute on Rmic (CVS version).
