Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:JavaCompiler.CompilationTask [NONE]
public static interface JavaCompiler.CompilationTask extends Callable<Boolean> Interface representing a future for a compilation task. The compilation task has not yet started. To start the task, call the call method. Before calling the `call` method, additional aspects of the task can be configured, for example, by calling the setProcessors method. ## Method Summary Modifier and Type Method Description `void` `addModules (Iterable<String> moduleNames)` Adds root modules to be taken into account during module resolution. `Boolean` `call()` Performs this compilation task. `void` `setLocale (Locale locale)` Sets the locale to be applied when formatting diagnostics and other localized data. `void` `setProcessors (Iterable<? extends Processor> processors)` Sets processors (for annotation processing). ## Method Details ### addModules void addModules (Iterable<String> moduleNames) Adds root modules to be taken into account during module resolution. Invalid module names may cause either `IllegalArgumentException` to be thrown, or diagnostics to be reported when the task is started. Parameters: `moduleNames` - the names of the root modules Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - may be thrown for some invalid module names `IllegalStateException` - if the task has started Since: 9 ### setProcessors void setProcessors (Iterable<? extends Processor> processors) Sets processors (for annotation processing). This will bypass the normal discovery mechanism. Parameters: `processors` - processors (for annotation processing) Throws: `IllegalStateException` - if the task has started ### setLocale void setLocale (Locale locale) Sets the locale to be applied when formatting diagnostics and other localized data. Parameters: `locale` - the locale to apply; `null` means apply no locale Throws: `IllegalStateException` - if the task has started ### call Boolean call() Performs this compilation task. The compilation may only be performed once. Subsequent calls to this method throw `IllegalStateException`. Specified by: `call` in interface `Callable<Boolean>` Returns: true if and only all the files compiled without errors; false otherwise Throws: `RuntimeException` - if an unrecoverable error occurred in a user-supplied component. The cause will be the error in user code. `IllegalStateException` - if called more than once
