The Symbol Compiler generates the Java™
source files, the resource files used by the symbols, and the .class
files.
The output directories can be specified by using the
corresponding fields in the toolbar.
- Java directory
Use the Java Directory field to specify
the directory where the Java source code of your symbol and its BeanInfo
are generated.
- Resource directory
Use the Resource
Directory field to specify the directory where
the resource files used by your symbols (for example, image files)
are generated. These resources are extracted from the palette jars.
- Class directory
Use the Class Directory field to specify the directory where the Java compiler (javac) generates
the Java .class
files. The specified directory
is added to the class loader class path, so that the compiled symbols
can be used in the Symbol Compiler by compound symbols (symbols that
use subsymbols) and by the Test window.
