Does anyone know: 01 how to include javadoc packages' documentation in susehelp search (cf /usr/share/javadoc/)? 02 if there a better way to read javadoc docs?
Better than using your favorite web browser? I do most of my Java program code editing using jEdit, and it has modules that can facilitate access to JavaDoc HTML, if I recall.
Thanks. I was contemplating adding parts of /user/share/javadoc to my htdig.conf. I have jedit-4.1-46 installed. Will try it.
03 (optional) why there no man or info page for javadoc
Because the software comes from Sun and is part of the Java SDK which has its own documentation suite, mainly in HTML.
04 what suse 9.3 app/prog can be used in place of javac?
SuSE 9.3 includes gcj, which is the Gnu Compiler system front-end and libraries for Java. It is incomplete w.r.t. to the full set of Java libraries and standard extensions. To experiment with it, install these packages
libgcj-3.3.5-5 libgcj-devel-3.3.5-5
Both were installed during a shatgun install binge I did to try get the packages I needed. Will check them out further.
SuSE 9.3 also includes Jikes, the pedantic compiler from IBM:
jikes-1.22-3
No jikes installed. If gcj doesn't do the trick, i'll try that later...
The rest of this is potentially relevant I thought might help:
On the last question, these urls describe javac: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html
This does not describe javac, it describes the Ant task that invokes the Java compiler.
OK. Thanks again, very much. I'm a total java newbie.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html
Note the SuSE 9.3 includes both the 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 SDKs.
Noted. (Seen them both before, but wasn't sure
"man java" says see also "javac(1)", but i can't find any reference or package that provides it via "yast2 sw_single".
I have the following, apparently related "ant" packages installed: ...
It's not clear to me what you're after, but you might find better feedback on SuSE-Programming-E
OK. Thanks for that, too. I'm trying to run "make" (or "gmake") on the Makefile in the linux- dictionary-tools package, http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/LDP/guide/docbook/Linux-Dictionary/linux-d... Admittedly, I'm doing this with only cursory knowledge of how make works and no knowledge of java. But i'll take this all to SuSE-Programming-E, as you suggest. If something simple and relevant to this list comes up, I'll add it to this thread. Again,
Thanks, Andi -- AD Marshall
