Java Compiler

elide javac runs the Java compiler included with Elide. Elide 1.5.0 supports Java 25.

Compile source files

Put javac options and source paths after --:

elide javac -- -d out src/Hello.java
elide java -- -cp out Hello

Without -d, class files are written beside their source files, as with standard javac.

For the compiler’s complete option list:

elide javac -- -help

Compile and create a JAR

The Elide-specific --jar and --manifest options go before --:

elide javac --jar target/app.jar -- src/Main.java src/Util.java
elide javac --jar target/app.jar --manifest src/MANIFEST.MF -- src/Main.java

Build projects

elide build compiles Java source sets declared in elide.pkl. To run only the conventional main Java compilation task:

elide build compile-java-main

Compiler flags belong in the manifest:

jvm {
  java {
    compiler {
      flags { "-verbose" }
    }
  }
}

See Elide Projects for source sets and JAR Assembly for packaging.
