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.

This fork makes changes to nb-javac to run on android, which allows developers interested in running java code to be able to run the java compiler on android and compile java files. This branch only runs on android because I made a lot of breaking changes.

Prerequisite

Git
Ant 1.9.9 or above
JDK 8 or above (to build nb-javac)
Apache Maven

Building nb-javac jar files

Obtain the code with the following command

$ git clone https://github.com/oracle/nb-javac.git

To get a specific version use the following command

$ git checkout <release_tag_name>

Run the below command to build nb-javac.

$ ant -f ./make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac clean jar

Two jars namely javac-api*.jar and javac-impl*.jar are going to appear at location ./make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac/dist/

Run below command to zip the source code of nb-javac

$ ant -f ./make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac zip-nb-javac-sources

Publishing to maven central / OSSRH

Aquire an account for OSSRH from sonatype and get access to the target groupId See here: https://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html
Configure the maven installation so that the credentials are made available for the server with the id oss.sonatype.org

Run

ant -f ./make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac publish-to-ossrh-snapshots -Dmaven.groupId=your.grp.id

to publish snapshot artifacts (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/)

Run
```
ant -f ./make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac publish-to-maven-central -Dmaven.groupId=your.grp.id
```
to stage the release, which will get promoted to maven central, after it has been manually released.
