Compiler doesn't recognise classpath jars

[PranavPurwar]

Upon running it on a test app, the nb-javac-android compiler complains of no classpath containing java.lang.* class files even tho it is present whereas nb-javac from CodeAssist (again with the same arguments) works fine. This seems like an issue with scanning jar files?

First of all, the version of nb-javac was built with AndroidIDE in mind. So it is different from the version that CodeAssist uses.

To get this javac working with your project, you have to generate a minimal JDK with only the classes from android.jar and then use it with this nb-javac-android. You can use androidide-jdk-transform to generate such JDK images.

Apart from this, this nb-javac has names of classes from AndroidIDE hardcoded in it. For example, it uses the Environment class to get the path to the transformed JDK image as seen here.

This is clearly not a bug. It is just how this nb-javac-android is designed.

No issues, i didn't knew that earlier as it was published on maven.

[PranavPurwar]

Thanks! It's working now after creating the com.itsaky.androidide.utils.Environment file with a static field containing the system modules path. However, I think It'd be more convenient to set up if the class path is not hardcoded/is changeable

[itsaky]

You can now configure nb-javac-android to use a custom JAVA_HOME without creating the Environment class. Simply set the androidide.java.home property with System.setProperty(String, String). Use the PROP_ANDROIDIDE_JAVA_HOME field in JavacConfigProvider

See JavacConfigProvider for more detail.

This will be available in release 17.0.0.2 which will take few minutes to get published.
