<vjc>

Compiles Visual J# programs using vjc, Microsoft's J# compiler.

Note: In order to have <vjc> task generate manifest resource names that match those generated by Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, the value of the prefix attribute of the <resources> element should match the "Default Package" of the J#.NET project, and the value of the dynamicprefix attribute should be set to "true".

Parameters

Attribute Type Description Required
codepage string Specifies the code page to use for all source code files in the compilation. False
debug DebugOutput Specifies the type of debugging information generated by the compiler. The default is None. False
jcpa string Associate Java-language/COM package names. False
libpath string Specifies the location of assemblies referenced by way of the /reference flag. False
securescoping bool Specifies whether package-scoped members are accessible outside of the assembly. In other words, package scope is treated as assembly scope when emitting metadata. The default is false. False
warninglevel string Specifies the warning level for the compiler to display. Valid values are 0-4. The default is 4. False
x string Specifies whether to disable language extensions. False
output file The output file created by the compiler. True
target string Output type. Possible values are exe, winexe, library or module. True
define string Define conditional compilation symbol(s). False
delaysign DelaySign Specifies whether to delay sign the assembly using only the public portion of the strong name key. The default is NotSet. False
failonerror bool Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true. False
if bool If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
keycontainer string Specifies the key pair container used to strongname the assembly. False
keyfile file Specifies a strong name key file. False
main string Specifies which type contains the Main method that you want to use as the entry point into the program. False
nowarn string Deprecated. Specifies a comma-separated list of warnings that should be suppressed by the compiler. False
rebuild bool Instructs NAnt to recompile the output file regardless of the file timestamps. False
timeout int The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out. False
unless bool Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
verbose bool Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false. False
warnaserror bool Instructs the compiler to treat all warnings as errors. The default is false. False
win32icon file Icon to associate with the application. False
win32res file Specifies a Win32 resource file (.res). False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute Type Description Required
exename string The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program. False
managed ManagedExecution Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR. False
supportsdelaysign bool Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "delaysign" option. The default is false. False
supportskeycontainer bool Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "keycontainer" option. The default is false. False
supportskeyfile bool Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "keyfile" option. The default is false. False
supportsnowarnlist bool Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports a command line option that allows a list of warnings to be suppressed. The default is false. False
supportswarnaserrorlist bool Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "warnaserror" option that takes a list of warnings. The default is false. False
useruntimeengine bool Deprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false. False

Nested Elements:

<nowarn>

Specifies a list of warnings that you want the compiler to suppress.
<warning>

Represents a compiler warning.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
numberstring A warning number, or comma-separated list of warnings, that you want the compiler to suppress or report. True
ifbool If true then the element will be processed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
unlessbool If true then the element will be skipped; otherwise, processed. The default is false. False
</warning>

</nowarn>

<lib>

Deprecated. Additional directories to search in for assembly references.

</lib>

<references>

Reference metadata from the specified assembly files.

</references>

<resources>

Resources to embed.

</resources>

<sources>

The set of source files for compilation.

</sources>

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
dirdirectory The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. False
filefile The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. False
ifbool Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
linestring List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. False
path<path> The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. False
unlessbool Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
valuestring A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>
