Compiling Java classes
To use this functionality, you need to have a JDK (1.5 or higher version) installed on your system and set its base directory to the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
To generate the symbol source files and compile their .class:
1. Select the symbol(s) in the Project Symbols pane.
2. Choose Project>Generate and Compile.
 
You may not need this functionality and may simply integrate the generated Java™ source code in your favorite development environment. However, you need to compile the generated code if you want to test your symbol in the Symbol Compiler, or if your symbol is to be used as a subsymbol in a compound symbol.
